I stayed home for a couple of hours in the morning, but the dogs, when they went out, were more interested in sleeping in the sun (as cold as it is) than hanging out in the garage. But the garage is warmer now the sun has been shining on it and the heater is on.

Turns out that the Internet died overnight. I did the usual troubleshooting things and it wouldn't start up so I've made an appointment for tomorrow morning. Today I have Internet at work and will read a book this evening. :)

They're suggesting that rolling blackouts might be necessary with the demands for electricity today. And with all of the cold I'm finding that the alternate day fasting is almost impossible. My metabolism isn't letting me go for a long time without calories of some kind - I feel it more, so for this really cold stuff I'm just eating modestly. Small meals more often are what the cold calls for.

When I came to work today I remembered to carry in some of the things destined for the campus e-waste recycle bin. A little bit more out of the house.
