building, buying plants, and trying to deal with the dogs. :eyes:

When I was at petco I looked at all the animals. They had the CUTEST baby corn snake, and some really cool fish, and birds, and rats, and kitties. It made me wonder why I got a puppy.

Can't get the humidity up in the house. I'm so dry I feel crinkly inside and have to prime my mouth to spit. My eyelids will be permanently stuck to my eyeballs here pretty soon.

72. Done all of the above
Freezer now full of soup. Almost out of bath oil. Humidifer tank sprang a leak so I trotted out the crock pot, put some holes in a piece of foil and used that instead of the lid.

Oh, steamed a mess o rice too. Hell, I won't have to cook for the rest of the month and it is STILL so dry in here I can't sleep. Thank goodness we turn the coal furnance off tomorrow night and switch over to the new heating system, which will not suck what litter moisture there is out of the house.

It's so dry, the dog brought his dog toys to his water bowl. Guess he figures they are all thristy too.

Lucky me, I LOVE the stuff. AND have a large assortment of teas. Lots of herbal ones too.

Making some bean soup now and have kettle of water with some vanilla simmering. Best news, temps going up today. Guess our cold moved east to pester the rest of you.

Anybody wanna bowl of borscht? Beef and barley? Tomato?
