Dorothy, when it gets that cold I pull out the down comforter to replace all but the thermal blanket and that takes care of the problem. And wear socks with my flannel pajamas. Maybe a trip to Amazon to order a comforter (once the Internet is up again)?

I saw that the UK gave the first COVID-19 vaccine to a 90-year-old woman, and the experiment begins. (Her name was Maggie - that's a good sign!) Maybe in a few months there will be flights between the UK and the US and I can order my veterinary heartworm medication. I bought six months of it here and it nearly broke the bank. Big vet bills around the holidays tends to be traditional here for some reason, so I shouldn't be surprised.

I've recovered an extension cord from use in the sunroom when I realized the radio that was plugged into it could reach the plug on the wall easily. There is a basket in the laundry room where I keep all of the "regular" extension cords (the really thick long ones hang on a bungee cord on the side of the pantry shelves), and I've been low on cords. I didn't want to buy more because the moment you do you find the others around the house. Murphy's Law has an important corollary about that.
