17* going to 5*

So tonight, I will have all the water running in all of the bathrooms and kitchen, even the hot water.

It is cold and going to get colder. I don't think it will be above freezing tomorrow either, and that's what makes it so hard to keep the water going when it's below freezing for several days continuously.

I really should not complain. I don't have anything else to do during the day except run from room to room and turn the water on and off. That keeps it from freezing up.

I do feel sorry for people like Jr who have to work out in this mess. I'll bet he's about to freeze to death.

All I did today was tidy up the house, do the dishes, crochet a little, and keep a blanket over me.

The sun did shine some today and some yesterday, which is kind of amazing considering how very, very cold it is. Thank goodness we have not had any ice or snow.

I have been trying not to read any of the news, but it's pretty hard to do. I just tried to remember that the good Lord has a plan and he already has it worked out. God does not make mistakes. I am very aware of that. I do think he uses situations to teach us lessons. I think a lot of people are going to learn a lot of lessons under this administration. Maybe it's like God saying, "You want to worship another god? Let me show you what can happen."

I just continue to pray for my family to have faith in Jesus Christ and to do what I can to help people. I want to be humble, kind, and thankful. God bless us all.

Cousin Winnie Jo has this wonderful sun room. It would be great to turn the heat up to about 80 and just sitting there and relax.
