Gaaah….gotta be quick tonite. Somehow it’s gotten late again. 🙁 And tomorrow we’ll be doing snowmageden again. Actually, I don’t know that we’ll get as much as threatened. …….or…..we might. So today’s prepping was all about incoming weather. Drastic drop in temps too. That’s harsh.
I’d put a note on bathroom mirror last nite when I realized [-while typing here-] that we needed to fill big animal water tank BEFORE it turns too cold. First thing on the agenda this morning and it was still warm enough to run water.
DH then went to the village to pick up more pellets for the stove…..and found a scarcity. Huh? Two bag limit. If this “new and improved” furnace didn’t blow cold air while it heats up….and cold air again while it cools down each cycle, we might feel warm with just the furnace. Like we did with the old one. But now …and we’re lots older….we need pellet stove to be comfortably warm. And we dress in layers!!
DH also picked up essentials for the week: chocolate, ice cream, 😉 bread, meds, fruit, etc. Picked up his check and filled gas in car. Spoke to folks on cell regarding business. Bought 2 new [-cheap and light-weight or I can’t use them-] brooms and another plastic snow shovel. 🙂 Those were my necessities. Why didn’t I notice our old brooms are down to nubs? Life doesn’t have to be so hard as that! Anyway, he was back in good time. The snow just began and we hustled down to get PM feeding of critters done.
Snug inside when it REALLY began to come down. Then slacked off later….? Temperature which was about 35* for a high today and now in the single digits. We’ll at least be waving at ZERO tonite. Might be on the far side of 0* by morning. { I HATE subzero! Dangerous!}
So that’s most of our prepping but….I also decluttered a couple of small areas. Found some EDC-type stuff….which I have a tendency to ‘stash’ all over everywhere. Duplicates but they need to be somewhere more usable. No tellin’ how many duplicate EDC packs I’ve stashed…. uff tah.
