Today is going much better than yesterday.  I am not falling asleep every few minutes like I did yesterday.  I managed to get a blog post done in less than an hour and actually feel motivated to do another.  I guess my snoring yesterday, that I did every time I dozed off, amused my daughter.  Last night she showed me a short video clip of me sleeping in the recliner snoring away.  She threatened to put it on face book.  


It is so cold outside.  The sky is dark and the clouds look like they are “snow clouds”.  However, there is no snow yet.  If the weather people are correct, it should be starting for us in another hour or so.  Some news channels are saying we will get three inches of snow, while others are saying maybe an inch.  I know that does not seem much to those of you who live up North, but for us that is a great deal.  Not to mention because we so rarely have weather like that, the state itself is often not prepared to deal with it.  We have been left without power more than once because of only a few inches of snow or ice.  We are ready though if we lose power.  Because we live so far out in the country, our water comes from a well.  So when we lose power the electric pump cannot supply the house with water.  We have collected water in various containers, found our lanterns and candles and made sure we had easy to cook things.  We have a wood stove that we use for heat, and it also comes in handy to cook soups and other things on.
