Apr. 12th, 2009 09:33 pmHappy Easter / springtime / fertility / whatever from Newton and all of us, dear Journal!
We woke early this morning - exchanged easter baskets! BHK loaded me up with jellybeans, gummi lobsters and chocolate covered potato chips, while I got her peanut butter eggs, tie-dye plastic eggs, lip balm and ceramic bowls. :)
Kitties were happy to play with catnip from the garden - growing well already.
BHK gave Mr. Woods an assortment of flowers from our garden to put on his wife's grave - colorful... yellows, reds, and lavender.
I was really beat - back bothering me - I had some lunch and had a nap - woke up at 8:30pm.
Have a wornderful day, dear journal!

Jan. 17th, 2009 10:17 pmWell, the stars were out of alignment this morning - 7 degrees to start, and the ground was frozen an inch thick.
BHK and I slept in a bit, and then I hopped into the shower, to get ready for my appointment at the MVA to get my license - turned on the water and... nothing came out of the nozzle.
It turns out that water solidifies, or "freezes" at certain cold temperatures - sort of like those little cubes you put in drinks to cool lemonade on a hot day.
Water can also freeze in pipes, as well as cube trays, it seems. Lacking water, and the desire to rush to a neighbor or in-laws to bather properly, I opted to instead go another day - Tuesday might be good, given that I have the day off, an everyone will be in DC that day for the inauguration. If they're open, I'll visit. I know they're closed on Monday - MLK day shuts it down.
The neighbors were helpful, offered a torch to melt the ice in the pipes, but we figured we'd wait it out and see.
The in-laws came over, and we assessed the situation - it turns out the water came back at about 11am - so BHK made pancakes for everyone, and I scrubbed up in the now-working shower.
After that, we went outside, and surrounded the drafty parts of the house, and pipe areas with insulation (that's how I know the ground was frozen, and how deep). It seems that the bedroom is benefiting most, upping in temp a few degrees already.
After that, BHK, in-laws, and I watched The Namesake -I liked it a lot - after the in-laws left, BHK and I continued with the The Darjeeling Limited, also pretty good - (I still Prefer The Life Aquatic, but it's a good second to that Anderson film)
Now, it's time for bedski.
