Well, it does warm up to about 30 during the days, and sometimes there is even a bit of sun. But I am so paranoid about ice that I've been sticking to the mill.
Today sucks because I am waiting for the Duke Energy guy to come and "upgrade" our gas and electric meters. The time window for this visit is 12-4. It is past 3 pm now and now sign of him (I assume it is a him). I am afraid to venture too far from the front door, in order to intercept and turn off the dog alarm (as best I can). The treadmill is in the basement so I can't get on it until after the guy leaves. Because, I am not running on it while he is here! But first he has to arrive.
Not to mention that I haven't showered or changed out of my dog walking clothes, because the plan was to run after the Duke guy left and then shower. I figured he would show up close to noon or even before (like last time they were supposed to come). But no.
I also have turned up the heat upstairs because Tommy says when they do this meter thing they are going to turn off the gas, so the pilot will go out in the upstairs furnace. And if figured if I let it be a little warmer up there than it would be warm enough until Tommy gets home to light the pilot again. The downstairs furnace is not a problem but the hot water heater will be. Oh yeah, hot water. I guess if the Duke guy ever comes I will have him light the pilot on the hot watr heater.
Been thinking about maybe doing a 5k this weekend but haven't signed up for anything. Not bringing Ed. His feet have been irritated by the salt on the roads, and I am having a heck of a time keeping them clean and dry. He gets a soak in epson salts every morning after our walk, and then I blow dry his feet and after that he has to wear his cone if it looks like he is going to start chewing on his feet. So no running for him.
