Okay, more firewood brought in (the hard stuff -- had to chop ice off it; leave the easy stuff for dark), stove heating nicely and shut down, cats fed.

"Date" made with up-the-hill neighbor for when I get home and finish chores -- told her I had the Tia Maria if she had the coffee.

I also started organizing (or at least putting in piles) the paper pollution on Tom's side of the table. We'll work on the rest, too. This is nowhere near as bad as before his heart surgery, but I WAS doing a bit of mumbling under my breath. Threw out the obvious. (Now why can't HE do that?!?)

Errands on the way; some groceries on the way home. Hope they don't decide to release him tomorrow as I work noon to 5.
