It's cold. But then, if you live in the midwestern or northeastern US you probably already know that. I can't even imagine what Canada must be like right now. For those of you who've never experienced this kind of bitter cold (-10° F/-24° C), consider yourselves lucky!
I've been huddled in front of my fireplace most of the night. The cable tv went out for several hours, along with my internet connection. I decided a nice, hot shower sounded good - but soon learned that the drain pipe in my bathtub had frozen. Now it is almost 7 am and I have yet to sleep. I put an electric heater in the crawl space under the house and I'm not entirely comfortable with the thought of sleeping with it turned on. But at least my internet works now!
As much as I despise my current job, this is one of those rare moments when I'm glad I work indoors. I used to work on a dairy farm. Winters like this were brutal. At least I'll have warmth when I go back to the casino on Tuesday, after my days off.
If it is this cold where you live, remember to take a moment to check on any elderly friends, relatives or neighbors. You never know when they may need you.
