Okay, my title is probably pretty gross once I hit the topics it covers:
- Warm: we added approximately $325 in K-1 Kerosene to our tank last Thursday and now have heat again. In other warm news, my new pink heated throw (my price: $29 including shipping) is amazing. We received three heated blankets as gifts last year, two of which still work. This one replaces my busted throw. Makes a huge, huge difference in the morning and late at night in our drafty computer alcove!
- Wet: The yard isn’t draining well at all. We need to dig a ditch, place some drainage pipes, and lead the the water off the side yard over the septic tank and down to the culvert where God, and city planning, intended. Yesterday we had the septic tank emptied, and Marc noted that you could hear the water rushing back into the newly empty tank from the saturated yard (“as if you turned on a huge bathtub, that’s how it sounded”).

In other news, Moira has approximately 235 more operations to complete at school, and 71 days in which to get them. I used to try and go in twice a month to get something done, but that doesn’t work any more with our new rules regarding lunch hours. The students all work on each other to get those operations, but clearly the school will need to step up the advertising for the program if the students are all to finish with the requirements for their licensing met!
