Snow Squalls and Hot Flashes
There was an amazingly pink sunrise this morning but alas I didn't take a picture of it. Yesterday was another snow day for the kids. The buses were cancelled because the roads were closed. Sunday was extremely windy. There was a lot of drifting snow. Our power went out for a few hours. Saturday it snowed all day long. Mr. Man never did fix the fan belt on the truck, because of the crazy weather. So here I am stuck without a car again. We're in an extreme cold snap too. The forecast says we'll be back in the above freezing temperatures by Friday.
The lady from Freecycle didn't show up to pick up the clothes until about 9 p.m. She was supposed to come in the morning. She said the roads were really bad. I didn't want to hear that because I was going out to the bar with SW. This was the first time I've been out to a bar without Mr. Man in many years. It felt strange at first. Thankfully SW is a good driver. The roads were nasty and the snow just wouldn't stop. So we went, we had a few drinks, well she stopped drinking after a couple because she was driving, so I had a few drinks. We danced, we played pool. There was a band but they only played 2 sets while we were there. They may have played one before we got there. And with the new no smoking laws we spent half the night standing outside in the snow smoking. We made it home safely and I proceeded to fall in the snow in my driveway and came in covered in snow. We had a good time, I needed a night out.
Sunday was so cold and snowy and windy it was unreal. I had a slight hangover. The power kept flickering and eventually went out all together. It was off all afternoon. That means no heat and no water. The last batch of firewood Mr. Man got was very wet and wouldn't burn well, which means it wasn't putting out any heat. We all just took a nap, to get cozy under the covers.
The wind and snow continued through Monday leaving the kids with no school again. They've had more days off than on in the last 2 weeks. Today there is school finally.
I think I had my first ever hot flash the other night. I was so hot I couldn't sleep. I was sweating. That never happens to me, I'm always cold. So eventually I got up to check the thermostat thinking it must have been turned up. It wasn't. But the whole house felt hot to me. The furnace was going. I thought there must be something wrong with the furnace. Maybe when the power went out it did something. So I woke up Mr. Man telling him I think there's something wrong with the furnace, it won't turn off and the house is too hot. He got up and checked and there was nothing wrong, the furnace stopped and he didn't find it hot at all. I continued to sweat until I finally fell asleep. And then apparently I snored really really loud. So this has never happened to me before. I'm always freezing. It was a nice change. Hope it happens again. Guess I'm hitting that age where these things happen.
I got used to having Little R home with me. It feels lonely being here alone again. I have a ton of housework and snow shovelling to keep me occupied. But I'm feeling utterly lazy and it's too nice being wrapped up in a blanket here at the computer. Maybe later. Have a great day.
