Hibernating

We have not had much snow but cold and windy keeps me indoors. Honey is unfazed but she has been in the street too-she got zapped yesterday. The time inside has been productive. Laundry is caught up. Tomorrow is my last trash collection until May 2010 so the dumpster got some real action. I think they are going to leave it but not collect the trash. Lists have been made. Tomorrow I will go the U.S. Post Office and arrange my mail forwarding. It could be done by web last year but there must have been problems. Driver's license and presence now required.

The doggies have gotten over their "touch kills" phase. They are happily snuggling these days which warms the cockles of my heart. Matt called to check on me after seeing the weather reports. A calico kitty has adopted Audrey and Dmitri. No dog/cat hassles from the git-go.

After I booted up the computer there was a Skype notification that Rich Boomgarden was calling from brother Rich's number. He was using his work computer that was previously operated by Boomgarden. (That's his story-maybe Boomgarden is his chat room name!) I plugged in the headphones and we had a video conference call. It was pretty cool.

It is warming up and I will venture out tomorrow. The storm was hyped for this area but other parts of the state really got it.
