brrrr!

brrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! it's been sooo cold the past couple of days. naturally it's one my days off...so it's all nice and sunny outside, and i could be doing so many nice things (if i wanted to be outside in 50 mph winds in 20 degree temps, that is...)

oh well it'll give me just the excuse i need to work on my final project in Ed 290...

so much for the reawakening of nature. almost everything that had been coaxed to life is now laying limp, flat and lifeless frozen to the ground. poor little sprouty bulbs and bloomy flowers....
since we don't have any heat beyond what the electric heater puts out, we have to wear coats indoors...and the plastic on the windows ruptured when the winds were howling so now they aren't doing so much to keep the heat out. it's a grim time around here. i've been drinking lots of tea to keep myself warm. i can't wait until things go back to normal...
