Oops, we had a signal for a bit but it may leave me in limbo. I can write but will need to copy in case it does not go through.

Poor Newbie is lonely!

And Michelle has snow! No signal since Friday but I did hear a rumour there would be snow north of Bancroft on Friday night. Will check: 32F right now! Colder than I was counting on all week. I left a small heater in the bathroom - HOPE!

Fri we made it to the Steven Barry Blues Band concert - excellent and a chance to see friends down here. I think talking with C&A helped; I woke up Sat am without that dreadful gasp of pain that had been hitting every "30 min" more or less, all week. A welcome change. The reality still exists.

Not much got done yesterday: I made meals and triaged some stuff to go to Beaver, tried sorting a bit but it is COLD in the storage area. R slept most of day; we suspect the am hours spent with a VERY OLD, musty book affected him, in addition to the usual overwork and over-stressed. He thought it gave him a headache and I sat next to it while he slept and ended up moving it AWAY! as I was getting a headache.

I put a bit of heat on in studio (Saturday am) but did not get to work. Today is up in the air; I cannot work in short bits; need to know I have a chunk. R "feels human" and went to move stuff - still working towards that monster machine; someone wants to see it!

I cleaned up the plants, floor, bench, table in the sunroom. Heat on a bit in there and lots of solar gain. Watered profusely. Also put a bunch of summer clothes away. And found a pile of fabric stuff for thrift shop. No idea where it came from but know where it is going!

Not much but every little bit helps. I will come down during the week to, hopefully, energy allowing, get pots made. Christmas shows are coming.
