I've finally learned to actually LABEL those containers in the freezer...too late, of course, for some of them. The original intention had been to eat them soon enough afterwards that I'd remember exactly what they were. Trying to use up stuff now -- churn the contents of the freezer so I have some room for new stuff since so many things cannot be prepped for just one person.

Went to take a shower earlier and found the bathtub water is frozen. No other water in the house is affected and the bathroom sink water runs fine. (But the bathtub line is on the outside wall, even though it's a south wall. Kitchen sink water lines are on the same outside wall but they're fine.)

It's about 7 degrees F now, but should get up to 20-ish today. And continuing to get warmer until Saturday when it should be in the 40s. (And then the cycle starts all over again?...)

But I suppose when I go out later with Jeri to see a movie (Hobbit) that I should close the bathroom shutoff valves. Just in case...

Meanwhile, since it's not convenient to wash my hair anyplace else, I guess I'm stuck with waterless shampoo for the time being.
