I am running all faucets on a warm trickle so the pipes don't freeze.

I just got out of the shower and dressed. I'm watching Florence Foster Jenkins. It's a "real feel" of -26. I haven't been out in it but N3 is on his way to pick up his gf from work. They sent him home early. It's snowing lightly. I hope it stays this way- the storm is supposed to let up at 4 a.m. It doesn't seem that it's snowing very heavily. In fact when I look outside I don't see snow coming down. A little snow accumulated on the cars but just a dusting. *Crossing fingers 🤞*. Got 12 hours before the storm officially ends.

My mom sent me a picture of all the stockings hanging up at her place hanging from the Mantle piece and she has a fire going in the fireplace. She said the fire will be going all Christmas day.

I got my kids each a gift card from Barnes and Noble with enough money to buy a book or pay for part of a more expensive book. They're going to go in their stockings.

We interrupt this post to wait out these moments. Brought to you by "Brain Blank".

I think I'll put a sweatshirt on and have some hot cocoa.

I'm feeling ok. I'm going to go see what the weather will be on Sunday.

Sunday no snow but they expanded the snow storm from 4 a.m. Saturday to 7 pm Saturday. Yuck.
