Today starts the really cold

I just ran across this picture of Benjamin. I just had to post. It was taken about 06.

Ah, the joys of a cozy abode! I've been posting from the tablet my dear son Billy blessed me with - God bless that boy. It's a far cry from the phone, which is about as user-friendly for these old peepers as a microscopic font. 


As for that baby blanket, I decided a fresh start was in order. Apparently, my initial attempt was destined to become a full-fledged over sized blanket. But fear not,  Mackenzie's blue blanket is now underway, and I'm hoping it'll one day keep a future grandson warm and snug.

Crocheting may be a cozy pursuit, but it's no match for the arctic tundra that is my living room. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I've resorted to cultivating my own sourdough starter - the bathroom's perfect for that, don't you think? It needs to be kept warm. My bathroom is the only warm place in the house. At least I won't have to worry about impressing any potential customers with my  fermentation methods.


On the bright side, I've found the perfect resting place for my trusty $15 vacuum cleaner. The closet in the bathroom. It's like a five-star hotel for appliances. And let's not forget the culinary masterpiece I whipped up - Sour dough starter.

I made beans and cornbread with ham. Truly, the height of gourmet dining when you're cooking for one.


As for this pesky camera on this tablet Well, let's just say my tech skills are about as advanced as my sourdough expertise. Maybe it would work better in the bathroom.


The weather is freezing out, and I have this irresistible urge to wash my car by hand. So far, I've managed to resist the temptation, but I can't help but wonder if I'm missing out on the ultimate winter sport. I'd have to do it in the yard, with a bucket and a hose, just to prove that I'm tougher than the elements. Maybe I'll even start a new trend - the Polar car wash challenge.


Junior came by today and installed a new wall heater for his mother. I was thrilled, not because it's bigger and better than her old one, but because now I can sneak down and bask in its warmth. I'll just tell her im testing it for her. Not that my own heating system doesn't work just fine, but you know what they say - free heat is the best heat.


Speaking of heating things up, I've been watching a lot of Dateline lately. You know, the show about people who got killed and someone killed them, and they try to figure out who. I told Junior that I've been making a little list of people who would like to see me gone, including my landlord. Apparently, my rent-controlled house is quite the hot commodity. I'm just waiting for my name to show up in the obituary, so the line can finally start moving.
