Brrrr, it’s cold down by my computer

I was freezing down here in the basement, by my computer earlier today. I’m freezing down here now. I finally looked up the thermometer and it’s 54 degrees down here. No wonder I can’t get warm, despite my space heater and the furnace vent above my head, being open. My hands are so cold. I’m not sure why it’s so cold down here today, since we got up into the 20′s today, so it’s not THAT cold outside. When is spring coming?

Since we did have a warmer day today, meaning one where you don’t mind being outside so much, I thought I’d better get a move on picking up after the dog. January was so cold and snowy, that I never really wanted to be out there long enough to pick up the messes. So, today, it got done: 2 grocery bags full, because poop and snow take up a lot of room. The flat area along the driveway looks so much better now. It was hard work, since I kept having to get my shovel into the frozen snow, so I could get the messes picked up.

Back in December, when it started snowing, I never got all the previous “muffins” picked up, so they’ll be waiting as the snow melts. Ugh. Wish I could get to them now, but the snow’s way too deep.

Poor Jasmine. Gary had to snowblow some paths for her, to use for her bathroom, since the snow is much deeper than her 18 inches. I sure can’t wait until that snow starts melting. I barely remember what my yard looks like, without snow.
