More things.

Laundry switched over, given a spin.  Fresh put in.  More to do, soon.  A shower taken, as well.  And dressed, more warmly, if still cold.  I'll try to get more done yet today.  Would like to finish washing blankets in the next few days.

I took a peak outdoors.  It is ten F, so, yes, okay, cold.  It settles in, and around.  Even with the furnace up, it just doesn't warm.

Whiskers trimmed, though a shave would be nice.

Out of food.  Need to get trash and recycling out.  Did get a few small final meals out of the chicken.  Two, then one.  Coffee as well, and tea is next.

I have hot water bottles coming.  Hopefully those will help me stay warmer, upstairs and down.  Night and day, or... whatever is passing for night and/or day.  Two liter sorts, with wraps, or cloth containers... so the heat isn't too much.  To be honest, I think flat hot water out of the taps should be enough.  I run mine to 160/165.  That might help with a few other problems as well?  I'll find out.

If it works, but I need more, there are larger ones, and of various shapes.  Being so large, it may simply take a bit or a lot more volume of hot water and surface area to do any good.  Will find out.  Hoping it works though.  I had to cancel a few orders, because they were coming in two weeks, or longer.  I wish I had noticed and canceled earlier.  They were ordered... nearly a month ago!  Ugh.

Never did get to bed early.  It's not exactly late, now, or yet.  Just much later than I was hoping to make it to bed.  And... I still haven't started in on more laundry.  But I think I will.  Cold.  I'll get the bed reset, and start the electric blanket.  After several trials and errors, I hit upon the highest temp for a much shorter time.  Finding that once I am warm, I stay warm through the night.  Until I am warm, I freeze all night until a few hours before waking.  Horrible, that.

I am hoping the water bottles will completely replace the electric blanket.  I fear the cost of electric anything.  Ugh.  They eat your lunch before you have time to realize it's gone, then charge you too much for poor production methods and "green" sources.  None of that is for my good, all to enrich someone who is already filthy rich, hurt me, or both.  Perhaps with actual aims of destroying the environment thrown in.  Yes, they know what they are doing.  Most people go along because they don't believe their governments and corporations actively hate them and want them dead.  Even the "vaxes" haven't stirred sentiment much.

You... can't help people who won't help themselves.  But you don't have to die with them, if... you can figure a quiet, calm, escape.  Working on it.  They will attack you, for informing them.  Don't bother.  Just... quietly gather your things and head on for the door, hoping no one... notices.

Oh, some other things?  Dressing slightly more warmly, wearing beanies or other caps... wools of various sorts work best.  Of course, coffee, and tea, and chia seed meals.  That chia really holds onto warmth.  Doesn't help my feet, but the rest of me gets toasty.  And, showers of course.  I am wearing two layers of socks and shoes, so... dunno about the feet and lower legs until the water bottle(s) arrive.  

Well... on to a few things.  I have been writing this since... 2:15?  Or so.  The timestamp resets when I close out, or close down the browser.  Ugh.  Finally, only seven hours later, or so.  Ha.  Have a good morning.  Later, or good night.
