Ah, Susan, your new vac/home space is good for you!

I enjoyed my lentil soup and decided to head for the city for a much needed hot bath. Clearly, I was not going to make pots. I arrived and unloaded food stuff. Started a roast in the casserole with potatoes and carrots. Ran the hot water into bath, phoned R and we agreed he needed it more than I so he came home and spent next two hours in tub!! Asleep? some of it. I went through emails and checked the roast and we had supper and watched Big Bang. I thought he was going back to work but ... He never did. I never took my bath but went to bed, and so to cough - most of the night. Deep sigh. My nocturnal trip woke him - on the couch at 3 am. He came to bed. Then I slept awhile until his phone rang about 8 and he dshed off without brekkie.

I tried the bath again but this time, having run the hot water, I turned on the cold and went downstairs and when I went back up, it was not as hot as I need it. Went downstairs and boiled the largest pot of water and took it up VERY carefully. And took a not hot enough bath.

Gave up and put laundry in. Took off bedding and started second load. R came home - forgot his cell- and we talked about the electric bill for here and the possible bill for the mill. Scary! So how to cut back on the space we heat and how to arrange that in the studio. Then I gave my sandwich lunch and he was off again after we checked that his blue tooth is, in fact, charged and working. USE IT!

Now, about 2 pm - I guess it is as warm as it will get today (about minus 6 F!) so off to library only because it is necessary! I really do not want to go out there - but I shall.
