Dupont:

Suffering from severe case of get out and push and even that is not working. No inclination to do anything and certainly not interested in going anywhere with the temp close to 0C/32F. Keep hoping for a rush of energy. Now I cannot go anywhere until snow tires and when I tried for an appointment last week, the earliest was 29th! So I thought I would make an appt in Bancroft and get up there before the snow... It has snowed. And I just sit here reading and computering with no appt anywhere. Sleet this am does not help, but none on road.

The tires are in the car! The cleaning person neither showed nor responded to a message I left after waiting for her... However, R had a tooth ache which has required several trips to the dentist and anti-biotics and ... He, too, has been in do-nothing-but sleep/read mode. He did the vacuuming and things look considerably better! He finally went off about noon, leaving behind The Devil and the White City - with difficulty! Someone was waiting for him!

I felt this lacking in energy for part of my time at Beaver. It seems as though it could be cyclical. I am hoping for an upswing - soon, please! I have brought in wood for stove - now that it is -THANKFULLY!
- on the porch! And keep a fire in the stove most all day so I can be comfortably warm while I do nothing. I will bring in another lot of wood ...Ah! The sun came out! ... while the sun is out!
