LOL Sandy. Fortunately, my downstairs neighbour and I don't have to shovel. My landlord owns the apartment building next to this house, so he gets his shovelling crew to do our sidewalk too.

It's so damn cold in here. I have no idea what happened while I was sleeping, but when I woke up I was FREEZING and my cat was freaking out. I followed him out to the kitchen -- thinking he was having a fit because he was hungry -- and the kitchen window was WIDE open! It's a big casement window, nearly floor to ceiling, more like a door than a window, and I don't know how long it was open. I'm sure I locked it last night. Maybe Hank finally figured out how to open the lock; he fiddles with it a lot. Or maybe I was sleep-walking and decided to let him out. I've done that before. Kind of scary. Anyway, it's so damn cold in here. The keyboard of my laptop feels like ice. I think it's going to take all day for this place to get heated up again. I need a Tim's coffee to warm me up, but I'm dreading going out in this cold. I wish they delivered.
