Another dreadfully cold day 2 F this morning; 48 in the house. No cold water in downstairs but OK up in the bathroom. We have spent the day working on organization. We had to move a lot of things so Rob get at electric circuits and get some heaters working. Even with the baseboard heater in the kitchen finally connected about 4 pm, it is only 56 in there. He is still working, trying to close the ceiling which is bleeding our heat. The upstairs is warmer, and closer to being habitable! Air cleaners are both working - one up and one down!

We took a TV and mudcat break. He has never read any of it but got caught up in the hawk, movies and, finally, read SRS' post on procrastination and went back to work!

I made breakfast, lupper, and a crockpot of split pea soup, helped with organizing, vacuumed and took throw rugs out an beat them against the stone wall while the sun was on that side of house. I'll have to clear the bed of a few things before sleep. But I gave out about five and retired to the TV news and computer, perusing FB and mudcat. Now to reading book. Just remembered books were due at library today. Will take them before they open tomorrow. The return bin is on street. AFter it opens, I have to take them to second floor. Of course, I will have to go back after 1 pm to get more! Cannot bear to be out of books.

Wednesday is supposed to be warmer. Actually, I remembered this morning that I once took lots of B vitamins and got warm when living in a cold flat. SO I took some this morning and I think it did help. So did long johns - top and bottom! Being cold is exhausting.
