Monthly bills are paid. It is winter, there isn’t any extra. Paperwork sent to student loan. Big window covered to keep out the cold — just in time, as temperatures have plummeted overnight. Keeping up spirits by planning garden and thinking about “winter seeding”. Went to my daughter’s house and made breakfast bars. Reading back through a “for pay” manuscript, and making requested changes. Review books are read — need to see if reviews are accepted.

Using this indoor time to clean house, go through boxes, and get the yearly tax prep done. It was 9 degrees Fehrenheit this morning, but so far the water has not frozen.
