It's been super cold since Friday thanks to Elliott, aka the bomb cyclone of arctic air that spread across most of the country. Super cold means I have been huddled in my little office chair trying to stay warm. Yesterday I couldn't get the indoor temps above 60 degrees with my furnace and two space heaters. Today, the wind has died down, the outdoor temp has gone up by about 12 degrees and that means it's getting pretty warm inside.
I'm so glad I took this coming week off from work. I haven't felt like I've done anything or enjoyed much of anything these last three days. I'm looking forward to enjoying the next few days.
Yesterday we had our family Christmas dinner. Dad thought we were having dinner today so he didn't put the turkey in the oven yesterday until I got to his house and asked, "Where's the turkey?" So, yesterday's dinner was turkeyless but today I picked up quite a bit of the turkey dad cooked yesterday so there's plenty for leftovers and for Winnie, Bailey, and Dora to enjoy Christmas too.
I have been very fortunate during this cold snap. I didn't lose electric and my water pipes didn't freeze (knock wood). I only got a dusting of snow so I could get in and out. Let's hope this is a once in a lifetime weather event.
