Alright, we have HEAT again!!! I'm going to let this new heating system warm-up and let it stay running until it gets to be 80 degrees inside. Tomorrow, we will open the other big rooms up and let them warm up too. Stay safe! V Sign in to see full entry.

Hopefully, our new heating system will arrive today. It won't take long to set it up, and it will be nice to not be so wrapped up in quilts that make me look like an Egyptian mummy. You stay warm, but I tend to move around slightly, and I feel restrained. We have the west side of the house yard... Sign in to see full entry.

It was a good day today, and we got a lot of 'silly work' done. I hope to get into the serious stuff this weekend. When I was under the house, I discovered that one of the 'stilts' allows us to adjust the house to be level in an uneven terrain situation has broke. This means I have to get a super...

It looks like it will be a nice day, so we are out in the yard doing some cleanup work. It is about 70 right now, allowing us to ditch the jackets we had on yesterday and begin to slowly work on our tans. I think at last count, we have filled seven 33 gallon garbage bags of junk we have picked up in... Sign in to see full entry.

We had shut down for the night, so I decided to format the paperback version. Somewhere along the line, Amazon had... Sign in to see full entry.
I have finished my re-edit of 'The Totally Unnecessary Death of Amanda Dawn.' I had forgotten how emotional the ending of that story was, and it will take some time to forget and rebury the thoughts that had been successfully forgotten. It was based on a 'real story,' but it was based on three... Sign in to see full entry.
I just spent an hour talking - correct that - attempting to speak to a Humana Health agent to change our address. Good grief, I know that the well of potential workers is 'shallow,' but that woman does not belong answering a phone to customers. I may not be a world-class orator, but I know that I...

I'm trying to figure out what to do with our central living room ceiling. Under the drywall they are using for the current ceiling appears to have some beautiful woodwork. The question is, was there a reason they covered it with the drywall? What to do, what to do? I'm not sure. I used to be... Sign in to see full entry.
It got right down COLD last night. Our heating system is down, but I bought a room heater to help keep us warm. I am hoping to have the heat fixed by Friday. The overnight temps aren't supposed to be as bad as last night, but still in the upper 40s. We can live in that stuff with the heating system... Sign in to see full entry.

Good golly, Miss Molly. It is 35 here right now! Eegads, it's cold! We are bundled up and are pretty comfy. Let's put it this way. We are bundled so tight that even the wife is smiling! LOL I learned something today - There is one nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people. Sign in to see full entry.
