Our high today was -5F, coldest day this winter so far. Should warm up come Monday. I'm good as long as the power stays on! There's a church about 100ft away, they have a generator, I noticed last time the power went out. Our system is a boiler in each building and we all have heat pumps that are paid for in the rent and then baseboard heat that I pay for separately. Not expensive, thankfully.

I finally got my new bed, my body feels so much better, except for the parts with tendinitis. ICE went blasting through town last Thursday, sirens blaring, headed for the border. I'm stocked up on groceries and staying inside, I still have plenty of unpacking to do yet. I've only been in this place since early last month, made the top of the waiting list five days after I got into the last place. So I am finally unpacking after having been all packed since April.

I am horrified by what's happening but I know that if I was anywhere near any of the violence, I'd probably get shot... I'll stay home for the time being.

How are you and yours doing?
