The University closed early today, and we'll see what happens tomorrow. It isn't going to be above freezing for a day or two, sounds like, and the ice on the roads is the issue.

Dogs in the house all day, one asleep on the rug beside me now. She's wearing her jacket even in the house and isn't fussing about it at all.

I caught up with a NetFlix video while I made a batch of split pea soup. I usually make it maybe a couple of times a year - I've made it three times in the last couple of weeks, what with this cold cold weather. I'll keep that for taking for lunch and am making a little bit of pot roast for dinner tonight.

I've cleared up paper in the kitchen and run the dishwasher, though soup making seems to have involved enough stuff that I again have a sink full of dishes. I'll find more stuff to do to keep moving around here - I'm keeping the house cool, around 65, because I'm sure there is a high demand right now and also because the bill goes way up in this kind of weather. If the power goes out I'm prepared for a three-dog night with my three pooches!
