β€˜Nite, Nauts. My holiday break is over and work starts early, so have a great one, Γ  bientΓ΄t.😴

A New Year’s Eve memory…
We were living in southern Utah and just didn’t feel like staying up to midnight MST, so we celebrated on Eastern time and got 2 extra hours of sleep 😴 😎

Today is his birthday, he is now 14 years old (which coincidentally is his shoe size…men’s, not kid’s…) and my mom and I have planned a massive holiday/birthday weekend for him to make up for his not being able to come home. We’re getting a hotel with an indoor pool, and my mom is treating him to a Porterhouse dinner.

I always made it a point to separate Christmas and birthday for him, but one huge celebration seemed to be the order of the day. I can’t wait for it to start ❀️

My youngest son has been in a residential psychiatric facility since mid-August. He’s been doing so well in the program, going from 1-hour supervised visits to home passes in record time. His first overnight home pass was to be over Christmas, but you know, fucking bomb cyclone/blizzard of β€˜22 πŸ˜–

Went outside for the first time since Thursday, and found him frozen to the table 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

And I’ve full-on tweaked my lower back and now it feels like my right hip is going to pop out of joint…and I still haven’t shoveled a path for my grandmother…Murrie Krimmah. 😩

β€˜Nite, Nauts 🀢 Merry Merry Eve, Joyeux Noel πŸŽ„ Catch you on the morrow, Γ  bientΓ΄t.

The wind has finally died down, enough so that it doesn’t sound like a long, heavy freight train anymore. I’m afraid to look to see how many branches, limbs, or full trees didn’t survive the onslaught. The temp in the house is 55*F, the actual temperature outside 2*F, still with a sub-zero windchill. Time to convince my body it’s time to get up and make coffee, but it is rebelling.

This little guy hung out on my porch, kind of tucked in the corner out of the wind. He stayed there for a couple of hours, turning every so often, fluffing his feathers for warmth. I hope he makes it.

My poor heat pump (natural gas heat) is struggling to keep the temp from dropping below 57* F in this 133-year-old monstrously huge farm house. I have it set at 70, don’t want to overtax it πŸ₯Ά The wind buffeting the outside unit and rear of the house is horrendous.
