Trying to figure out how to divvy out the laundry, getting what's only necessary washed, so that the dryer doesn't run too much. The boys would weep if I had them hang out too many clothes and towels today. But to keep them in line, maybe I will! I'm already seeing dollar signs with the gas heater working so hard. Seems when I was up with the dogs at six-something, that as soon as the heater cycled off, on it'd come again.
Still dripping faucets during the day since it's only about 19 degrees. Yesterday, a house around the corner (a vacant one for sale) had broken plumbing and the water was coming up from the water meter at the street. Not fun. Told my husband I could endure the expense of eternally dripping faucets to balance out the heap of cash that'd be necessary if we broke pipes and had to have them replaced. No, thank you!
Just staying cozy today. It feels like a snow day, even though it's simply overcast. I feel challenged by the extra energy that seems necessary in simply staying warm. Just want to stay covered up and snug.
Bean and bacon soup for dinner with yeast rolls. Beans are simmering and will dress them up later on. Don't feel motivated as to anything else, and considering things in general, I'm thinking that that's OK. Life doesn't have to be moving all the time, does it?
