SRS seems to be having similar temps to Montreal! Yesterday was not bad but today is cooler at 8F.

Wonderful Susan to be able to do snow removal. You are doing so well!

I succumbed to the cough yesterday and only went upstairs to cover the pots so they do not dry too much. Coughed most of the night, for the first time in a few nights - R slept through it, thankfully. He has an identical cough but never during sleeping time. I am waffling today, between coughing spells; do I just give up or do I go up and try to get things done. If left too long, things become throw aways. Today's coughing spells are leaving me drained. I feel good but then the energy just goes into the cough pit... Definitely not going down to the country for the writers' group.

Hot water: asked R if it would happen in this millennium, "In 2014". I warmed water in a pot this morning to wash hair and put the pot of water in the open oven (the only heat in the K) so I can do some dishes if the energy arrives. I did tell him I consider this a "crisis".

We went to a Mexican restaurant for supper last night as I had a Living Social coupon which was coming to the expiry date. The traffic was bad in the fresh snow but not in the directions we went!! Good meal but too expensive for our budget without the coupon and even a little high with it. But it was nice to have something very different and very tasty.

Then we watched the grand finale of Republic of Doyle. The only thing it has going for it, imo, is the scenery of Newfoundland; the ending - until next season - was a total cliff hanger! So much for closure!!

I managed to complete two pieces of snail mail this morning - a bill that has to be paid in this archaic manner and a check/donation to the clayart group which I have found interesting, and helpful, at times. Like mudcat, it can also be aggravating, etc, if one does not choose carefully what to read and when to forgo it!

Guess I shall try some lunch and hope to complete the pots.
