Office closed for the Polar Vortex yesterday and today. A weekend in the middle of the week, but too nasty to go outside. I'm glad I didn't have to go out, except I did choose go out yesterday to fill the cat food bowl at the courthouse for the stray cats. Couldn't stand the thought of them finding an empty bowl in this weather, and courthouse was closed yesterday, so the other caretakers were off work. Poor Finn hasn't been outside for days. I haven't offered him the opportunity for a couple of days, too nasty out there. He has been really good about it too. A couple of times he has gone "Crazy Cat" in the middle of the night, romping through the house yowling and waking me up with a start. It's OK . . . I get stir crazy too. I haven't run through the house like he does . . . yet, but you never know.

Christmas was quiet, quiet but good. John was home and we had good eats, as usual. Feels a very long time ago now. The snowy weekends have stopped me from visiting John and his kitties. I took a long weekend in February and am hoping to get over there.
The cold has me cooking comfort foods, veggie beef soup, Scrapple, mom asked for biscuits and gravy. Mom gets whatever she wants of course! She never gains a pound either.
Ran into Cousin Gail at Jewel last weekend, had a nice chat. Good to see her. Brings back lovely memories of Aunt Dorothy and her home and the cousins in Marseilles. I often come home that way from John's, and then pass by the cemetery in Seneca. Just like Dad would have done! lol
No news is good news around here. Stay warm!
