New Year’s Day
Jan. 1st, 2011 11:56 pmNew Year’s Day- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 19 to 39 degrees, calm winds, humidity around 31 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Sunday: A 10 percent chance of snow after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 45. Calm wind becoming south southeast between 4 and 7 mph. Sunday Night: Snow likely before 4am, then rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31. West southwest wind between 3 and 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.”
I didn’t get to sleep last night until 6am in the morning and finally woke at 12:30pm. At 5:30am I went to brush my teeth, or what’s left of them, and no water came out of the spigot, dang the pipes must be froze! I went outside and saw that the temp was 19 degrees. I was able to turn the emergency valve off and back on a few times that somehow freed the ice in the pipes and I filled a few containers with water. Then I left the emergency valve in the off position.
It was dang cold outside; even at 1pm it was only 39 degrees which is usually our nighttime low at this time of year. I spent most of the day making phone calls to family and friends hoping them a happy new year, and I know a bunch of folks who can use a change of luck this year from all the hard times of the last couple of years. Hopefully this one will be better for everyone.
I watched two Stargate SG1episodes called “Children of the Gods” Part 1 and 2. This is the beginning of the series, I believe, and I seem to like it so far. Unfortunately Hulu will only be showing them until January 31, 2011 and there is ten years worth of episodes for me to watch in that amount of time which means that it ain’t going to happen unless I want to spend all my time watching these, and like I said it ain’t going to happen, dang.
I’ll probably stay up late again spending my time thinking things over; I have a lot to think and decide about.
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
