I woke up, and it's 12 degrees outside and my heat isn't working. Called the landlord, and he came over and looked at it but couldn't fix it, so the HVAC guy is coming sometime today. I've got the space heater running in the meantime.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The heater got fixed. I was actually pretty impressed -- the landlord came over within about half an hour of me calling him, and then he found a repairman to come and fix it on a Saturday morning, and it was fixed within a few hours. And the landlord brought over a space heater for me to use in the meantime, too.

4 degrees here. With the wind chill, supposed to feel like -8.

Lovely, upper sixties, here. We have definitely not had our promised El Nino winter yet.
Man, I feel like the hardest bit about adulting is remembering that you're the one that needs to do it. There was a bit in a King of the Hill cartoon once where LuAnn sees Hank refilling the ice trays and says, "Thank God, there'll be ice again!" like it literally had not occurred to her that there was any possible way she could affect that outcome. I had a moment like that in the store today when I bought some pens. I've spent all this time bemoaning to myself that I no longer have my favorite (cheapo, not serious like some of y'all) pens. It wasn't until today when I made the connection that I could, in fact, remedy that problem, and no one else was going to.

The car said it was 5 degrees when we were driving home from the baby shower.

Snow and freezing rain expected tomorrow. It was worth it to brave the grocery lines if it means no having to go outside. I have all the fixin's for home made tacos and enough cheese to last through the Apocalypse.

We rescheduled our Valentine's dinner for Monday because we don't want to take ltc out in tomorrow's weather.
Because we both ate well this afternoon, me at vw's baby shower and TCG sandwiches with vw's DH, we are having chips and guacamole for dinner tonight. That counts, right?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
We're not expecting our sleet and freezing rain until Monday. But I shopped today anyway to avoid the rush. I'm thinking of making a lemon pound cake tomorrow. It seems like it would be a sunny snack for a winter weather day.
