Minus 30 degrees here this morning. There was ice around all the windows until after noon. It may have gotten above 0, but not for long. As I write at 7:20 p.m. it's already -25.
Joe was up with the chickens as usual, but I slept from 8 p.m. last night to 9 this morning, not counting the usual spells awake. So am counting it as 13 hours anyway. Guess I needed the rest. And I got kind of depressed for a while with the family gone...so boohoo. A quiet day. Visited with Charm on the phone, and later Jonita called and said she and Madelaine will be over about 1 tomorrow afternoon. Beverly also called and told me about their trip home. They had snow falling most of the way through Utah, and were making 35 or 40 mph almost to St. George before it quit. They didn't get home until about 11 p.m. - a very long day
I cleaned out a file drawer that had all my map collection from everywhere I'd taken a trip and it will go to the recycling. Any of that info can be looked up on the Internet now. I'll use that file drawer for the medical records and files I have shoved in the bookcase. Next I also bundled up about 10 years worth of National Geographic magazines and got them into the back of my car along with all the rest of the recycling. So continues the purging. Then next I got the air purifier - that was one of our gifts from "the kids" - set up and running after reading those directions. I sure hope it works good because with no vent on the new stove we need something for the odors and also for the smoke that escapes the wood stove every time Joe opens the door to put wood in and listening to the ensuing smoke detector shrieking, not to mention a couple of stinky dogs.
We decided not to have turkey again, so had spaghetti for dinner. I put most of the large yam casserole into the freezer to have at another time. I'm afraid the amount of raspberry pretzel jello salad that is left is more than we can get away with though.
Joe put the chains on my car, getting ready for my next Chemo appointment on Monday. I guess he thinks a part of the road to the mailbox isn't the greatest yet. That is how he is taking care of me, by doing those kind of things. He laid out there on the garage cement floor in 0 weather to put them on.

Glad to hear the air purifier is up and running. I hadn't thought about the smoke alarms being set off. Good grief.
I still have boxes of National Geographics, waiting for me to try and sell on Ebay. Yeah. Sure.
Current temp here is 33 degrees, at 7:00 PM, so it will be cold (for us) tonight again. Had to pour a kettle of hot water into the bird's fountain this morning, to melt the ice.
