December stories/rewards will fall off at the end of January to make room for February rewards.
We finally experienced some winter during the month of January. We got some snow, which is now melting away. And we had temperatures drop to -25. It’s one thing when you voluntarily stay indoors. It’s something entirely different when the weather strongly encourages you not to go out. It’s amazing how rapidly you develop cabin fever. I went out a couple times to walk to the post office to check my mail. But it was unwise to be outside for very long. The cold penetrated all my layers, and I tried to make sure my face didn’t freeze off.
Mom’s had her share of challenges. Her furnace went out, and she went several days using a space heater before the furnace was fixed. Then mice camped out in her car and chewed on all the wiring as well as the papers in the glove box. She had to replace a lot of engine wires. She’s been battling the mice for at least a year now. Last year, the mechanic found a mouse nest in the engine, and she had to replace all the wires back then as well
Many years ago, we had a similar mouse problem. Dad offered to acquire a bull snake. But mom did not want to open a drawer to find it looking up at her and flicking its tongue. So we got a ferret instead. But the ferret is long gone, and the mice have decided to come back and try again. She may have a solution, so we’ll see how it goes.
I hope you don’t have mice problems, or furnace issues, or frozen pipes to deal with. But February has the potential for all kinds of weather. I hope you will weather it out ok, if you’ll pardon the pun. Thank you for being my patrons.
