In A Deep Freeze

Brrrrrrrr...

Dang, it's cold in these parts.  Which is part of the reason I haven't posted in the last few days.  Running around the house trying to keep warm.  Just kidding.

Seriously, last night it was 12° when I climbed into bed around 2:30am.  They are forecasting 6° overnight tonight.  

We have been in this deep freeze a few days and we won't get out of it until next Monday when they expect it to go above freezing.  

So I have been hibernating.  I go outside twice a day to feed the cats and give them fresh water.  Each time I have to break the ice out of their water bowl using a screw driver.  We have well water just for use outside and even that is frozen so I have to take water from the faucet inside.  Husband shut the water off to that faucet. 

Patience is a virtue...so they say...I will be back when I thaw out.  Unless something really spectacular happens and I just have to write about it.  Don't hold your breath.  Trust me, if really exciting things happened around here I would be posting almost every day.

For those of you who are following my blood pressure issues, my doctor visit earlier this week went way better than I expected.  So as of now, my blood pressure readings are lower than ever (below the national standards), my cholesterol readings are lower than ever (also below the national standards), and my diet is coming along losing a few pounds here and there (not below the national standards).

I heard about that cold front. Should it tell you the temps here? Ok. It's 70 here but a cold front is coming through and we're only supposed to be 60 tomorrow. hehehe

Glad your blood pressure is down and your diet is working.

MarkD60 ~ That is one of the meds I take along with atenolol and a diuretic.

Marti ~ In about a week the temp in Philly is supposed to hit 60°which means we will be about ten degrees less than that since we are north of that city quite a bit.

I always said "Patience is a virtue....and I have neither!"

LOL! Cold here in Eastern Ohio, too.

I am so sorry you are in this deep freeze. I do hope it lifts soon. I also worry about the outside cats!
