I am pleased to report that I spent the majority of yesterday out of doors, doing the aforementioned chopping and then taking a lovely little walk. Then followed the making of eggs, the making of bacon and a nice afternoon nap to make up for my shivery lack of sleep the night before. I woke up around 7 PM and launched back into the book, getting a lot of quality writing done before going to bed.
This morning, I woke up and, as has been my wont, put on boots and went outside to pee. It was sunny and pleasant and as I peed, wearing only jeans and a shirt, I was perfectly warm and comfortable. I wondered what the temperature was, if it had perhaps crested into the 60s or something, so I tromped over to look at the thermometer. It was 10 degrees. I am tough as nails.
Today, I do some writing and get ready for my visitor. This means making more water, doing a pile of dishes and sweeping out the fireplace, since the mound of ash in there has crept steadily upwards. I'm going to make a trip to the Winnie Store, a gas station and sundries palace in Bena that we normally refer to as "the Indian store" because of their tribal off-license, to get some groceries and beer. Today's preparations also, I'm happy to report, mean more chopping. The plan is to bust out the grill and do up some steaks, a prospect that I would've found galling two days ago but now, since it's supposed to get near the 40s today, sounds downright pleasant.
