All Thawed Out

That's right; even the pipes and their breaks are thawed. We have three breaks in the barn that we know about. One of them was in the wall of the fiber room which was completely flooded on Saturday. What a mess. It took us several hours to mop, shop vac, and move fiber out of the water. The cheap laminate flooring we put in there is curling up on the seems, but it isn't as bad as I had feared. I think a few throw rugs will be good enough.
This weekend has to be better. My sister is coming for a visit and I'm sure we'll have a good time with no flooding.
Merry Christmas

Baby it's cold outside

Brrrr! It is COLD here. Yesterday and today it was 8 degrees when I got up. Today the weather man said with wind chill it is -2 degrees. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I don't ever remember it being this cold before. Thankfully it is dry, which is unusual for December. There haven't been too many accidents and it is possible to put on enough layers to do outdoor chores without too much pain.

On the up side, I took my finals on Monday and managed to do well on both, earning A's in both classes. Next term doesn't start until after the new year when I'll be taking Anatomy and Physiology 2 and beginning Chemistry. In high school I took physics instead of chemistry so I'm looking forward to that class. I love math and science.
