I’ve been skirting the flu all week.. and it finally landed. but gently.. despite massive doses of vitamin C and good nights sleeps, I woke today with a sore throat and aches… and huge aversion to being cold..
and it’s cold out.. not terribly.. 6degrees F.. but cold enough to want to stay away from windows and doors.
made staying inside working just fine..
feeling better now.. it feels more like a cold. hope to shake it off in my sleep

I’ve been walking by this clock above our pantry for several days.. the time always seemed wrong. .. I promised to fix it… but didn’t for a week.. finally I took it down tonight and found.. it was stuck..
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
I watched if for 10 minutes more
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
1:52 PM , Jan 30 19 degrees C
it was fun 1, time literally stood still .. I spent 30 minutes and 1:52. . it was a nice place.
I took it down, cleaned the corroded contacts in the battery container. .. and it started up again’
that did allow me to see tht the clock must have been built in 1996..
thts a long time for a digital clock.. all the things this clok has seen..
all the people.. 
thank you clock for showing us the passing of time..
and th not passing

Couldn’t sleep last night for some reason.. diane and I were both awake at 5.. Diane pointed out the window at the setting super moon.. or is it s blue moon.. or was it an eclipse.. ? all I know that it was beautiful !
that oil is how we heat our hot water.. and our emergency heat .. thats a big deal where we live. we have cold weather coming and its bad news if your pipes freeze
our oil provider dropped off an emergency tank and plumbed it in .. and voila.. we have heat and hot water again.
ok. time for sleep !

Tonights theme for Yoga was loving kindness.. . It was a great idea to meditate on ..
loving kindness for each other
loveing kindness for ourselves
loving kindness for the awesome Italian leek and potato soup Diane made tonight !
while downstairs trouble lurks
our oil tank has sprung a leak.. and is ‘red tagged’ .. it is illegal to refill it now. .. We’re down to less that 1/8th tank.. and its goign
below zero for a whiel again.. we can heat the house .. as we mostly use wood.. but it’ll be very cold showers until we get this fixed.
we have an emergency tank coming tomorrow morning, hope the hot woter holds out till then !
