Not much.

.
.
A visitor though!  It's always good to see a... people.  If I have the bravery to check who is at my door.  If I am not expecting someone, I... have to consider what condition I am in.  Then... whether... I am feeling lucky.  I have showered frequently recently.  Clothes, if pj's, are clean.  Presentable... or... generally.  So, when the doorbell rang, after considering all and getting my pulse back in line plus releasing the frozen throat... I answered the door.

The most fearful is if it is a woman.  Oh, I... like women.  I just feel a little uncomfortable with my house in it's current state.  Well, and... when I meet women, I prefer to be in a proper, dapper, state.  As... close to such as I can get.  So, when one knocks or rings, especially a foreign body, I... get a bit nervous.  Not the case this time.  The neighbor, senior... of his pack.

He wanted to go over the SSA paperwork.  He asked about them sending him information.  The SSA has told me they won't.  So...  But, the details seem pretty much as presented recently... a... judicial review, in early February.  I need to call about some information, contact a lawyer, and... generally do a few things or get them going.  Monday, or Tuesday...  If possible.

With it being so cold, I have been checking on the critters a bit more than usual.  All well.  I did find, on the second check, that the water... while not totally frozen, was stopped at the nipples.  So I went through and got those open.  I'll bet a torch lighter would make that process much quicker... so long as it doesn't melt the plastic.  I will just be bringing the water in tonight.  It would freeze in short order after dark.  It got up to 16 or 17 F, that I saw, as maximum.

It's about time to close the ducks in, and bring the waterers in.  The food looked good, for all.  Not sure if the ducks don't like the food, or don't eat much?  Oh, I do believe I will empty the water for the ducks at night.  Otherwise the thickness of the ice will quickly destroy the plastic pool.  Just adding a bit each day.  I will have to replace it no matter what, every day it is this cold.  In warmer weather this isn't as much of a problem.

On to that, maybe the counters, or one.  A shower, some more gaming, and back to bed?  It's the plan.

  2. Thank you, Jean. I'll be calling her shortly.

    Stay warm, as possible. Eat well. And do enjoy family, friends if they happen to be out and about, or vise versa.
