Up a bit late.

.

For tinkering, then cleaning up, then setting dishes to a last go, I couldn't just go to bed.  When I push, and shove, to get at things, I have to come down before I can sleep.  It was nearly midnight.  Between a quarter and half to, leastways.  But I slept so very well.  I thought... I heard it raining?  Couldn't have been.  Just the wind ruslting leaves?  I was just about to seriously contemplate it when I stopped contemplating anything.  Uhm... warm bed.

Dreams of women, and storms, and mercy.  Rage too.  The temple, down she came.  Sampson?  My brother of another mother.  And father?  Kin though.

I heard Sassy down, doing... something.  I called to her.  See if she would visit.  Then I realized what the sound was.  Sassy doesn't do that.  Shoveling?  It must have snowed.  I looked out, just couldn't see well enough.  But I could see someone doing something like shoveling.

Up!  So slow, they had hit the front of the drive.  The back stoop at least.  But then I heard the machine.  To plow the rest.  I was finally dressed.  So peaked out, and gave a hearty hello, thanks, and just a bit of banter as is our wont.  I kept it short.  He has more to do.  Five inches, or that is what is down.  Given that it was 43 yesterday (at least) evening/night, and raining, if we have five inches down we got a lot more snow than that.  Just before it would stick, it would have to refreeze the ground, partly ice the rain up, then begin layering.  Though, if it is really fluffy, it's not all that.

Anyway, up earlier than I had thought I might be, given bedtime.  About 06:30?  Give or take a quarter.  I just can't be sure.  Just that it is 7:10 as I started this, eighteen after as I finish, if I started water heating, and did a few other things while digitally penning this.

Checked the hot water, in the middle of writing, too.  It is working.  Very fresh, very hot.  Hotter than when I took my shower yesterday.  Maybe something peculiar went through the wire, and tripped something?  A near brown or black out rolled through?  An odd current?  Don't know.  But it is working, currently, for now.  Will definitely be... keeping an eye and ear open for any problems.  Actually, it is warmer than it has been in a while.  It was as if it was sliding down in water warmth.  Will see if it easily lasts a whole shower today.  I was down to just hot water at the end, yesterday.

Best have some coffee, then brush the teeth.  Have things to do.  Thankfully, if I need to get out, that is possible.  Crazy lot of snow, and in a strange hurry.  Will take it, of course.  Oh, best check the front.  Open the sidewalk if they didn't.  No packages to arrive, today, but don't want that to freeze up, or down.  No complaint.  Just... a) if undone, gives me something to do, b) tending a bit on my own is good, and c) might have a snowball fight with myself.  Takes a wicked curveball, or a math and physics background... what goes up, must come down, put simply.  :p

Later.

Nope.  They got the front sidewalk too.  All good.  Just thought I might have been able to scoop them.  :p  Ah well, and all very good.  Won't complain, to be certain.
