Whine, whine.....

I’m still thawing out from yesterday, slowly. By the time I went to bed my teeth were practically chattering and I threw on an extra blanket and snuggled up with a hot water bottle and my snuggly kitty. And I still woke up cold. And that’s after building a screaming, roaring fire AND turning up the thermostat on the furnace late in the evening. It’s pretty obvious that I am not well adapted to arctic weather, despite having lived in the northeast my entire life.

It’s now 21° outside and it feels like a heat wave. How sad is that?!

On the bright side (I’m reaching for one), with the way the wind howled and clawed at the house yesterday, I found a whole new array of air leaks in this house. I’ve mapped them on paper and, over the course of summer, will relentlessly caulk, seal, insulate, and plug them up. This place was like the deck of a ship last night with bracing arctic currents zephyring past my nose until it almost broke off.

We still have another one of these arctic blasts coming on Thursday and, by then, I may be nothing more than a slab of ice propped up in a corner someplace. I’m now officially over winter. I Want Spring!

It’s been really cold here too.  I just don’t like it.  I’m anxious for spring as well.

Cassie - Total agreement here!

J - I’m sorry you’re feeling even worse than yesterday. You poor thing. You sounded awful enough as it was without the added insult. Go see a doctor if this doesn’t let up soon. PLEASE!

I gave up on the computer and stopped defragging at 5% at around midnight. That’s just crazy. Gotta uninstall all those dumb games with the gazillions of files each. I know that as soon as I do it will end up being a total catastrophe, but it’s MY computer now. Heh-heh.

Yes it is your computer now lol. The games do suck up a lot on a computer! I am feeling better this morning, so far lol. I do however get a box that pops up saying that I am starting up as if there is a problem with the computer. Not every time, like every other time I start it lol.  ?? If I can’t figure it out I will give you a call and we can brainstorm, again! I want everything running smoothly before I even think about letting E put XP on this thing!
lol my word is pickles!

Oh, I get little mystery boxes that pop up from time to time, too. They don’t seem to amount to anything, but I haven’t taken the time to find out how to make them go away, either. Since I did the partial defrag, one of my little gadget start-up programs won’t work. I sort of expected something like that to happen, but glad it was for something minor. I need to do a lot of housekeeping on this machine. Soon.
