I was marveling at how tropical 30 degrees felt yesterday after this cold snap. I did chores in my shirt sleeves without batting an eye and came inside sweaty.

Amazing isn’t it?

I suppose it’s all about perspective. I may have made some sort of promise under my breath about not whining about the cold if the universe could keep it to a single lesson for the remainder of winter.

Lmao picturing That move!! Oona went out willingly the first time, posed for a pee, came back onto the cement step and just laid down so she could give me the side eye. Guess the aborted poop pose led to a back up in the manufacturing plant?

Took one dog out at O'dark hundred the first bad morning. Wind was blowing, dog was peeing, wind was taking the pee and making little bitty ice balls out of it, which then rolled across the snow. Another one of those "never in my life" moments

So glad you have such a fine sense of humor! All you need to do is install a spigot in a water bucket, set the bucket on a table near your chair in the living room, leave the ice in place and pour the Jack and Coke over the top. Saves miles of walking going back to the kitchen to make a refill.

We enjoyed similar circumstances here. The heater just couldn't keep up, pipes froze - lessons previously learned about this were to my shame revisited, no showering, my entitled-minded dog had to be coerced to go outside so had to clean some carpet a couple times. Winter camping!

Yeah, its been a week hasn't it? So sorry you had to go thru the same things as me. I had one dog poop in the house cus he didn't want to go out also. The tripod walk over the snow and ice was quite the laughable moment as he kept switching feet.

You are one strong woman. My hat is off to you. I live in California - one of the few places in the country that had nice weather over the holidays.
