Especially since all the natural gas has to be turned off in my entire town. For some reason the gas pressure has dropped so the local gas company has to go around to every residence and business that has a natural gas connection and turn it off at the main. After the gas lines have been pumped back up to where they should be, they have to go around to every house and re-light the pilot lights. This includes my furnace, hot-water heater, stove and dryer. This could take up to 2 days. And right now outside it's 37 degrees and inside it's 55 degrees. Luckily, I thought to quick wash my hair while the water was still warm.

Fun times!! Thankfully the gas people hadn't come to my house while it sat empty. I understand that if you're not home, they've been authorized to break into your house to do it. Not an expense I would want to deal with.

With the wind blowing so hard, it already blew off the back screen door. I don't even want to know how much that will cost to repair. :-(

But I'll be warm enough and my hair is clean and it could be worse. I could be one of those gas line folks going to over 5500 different people's houses tonight!

Surgery for my Dad and sis is in one week. I'm nervous about that, I'm taking the day off for it. I'll be helping take care of my sister as she recovers in Iowa. Of course, I've got to get over my cold otherwise it wouldn't be very good for either of them. Any suggestions for getting healthier other than vit c, cough drops, lots of fluid, sleep and echinacea. I've gone from stuffed up to coughing so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Tonight should be cough syrup with codine for me and sleep. Although, I do have to get an absentee ballot for election night. I've also got to get some laundry done or A will be going to school in his underware!

Yesterday my son's 3-5th grade teacher came in. Apparently A had written her a letter for an assignment. I'm not sure exactly what he wrote to her but she said that it made her cry. She also said that he's "brilliant" and I said sure (along the lines of Garrison Kellior where all the kids are "above average") she insisted that she really thought that he was. Oh my...not sure to believe her, this coming from the woman who also thought he might have ADD.
