7:52 am - It is wickedly cold out this morning. It is double digit negative. I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere today.
10:56 am - I've been working on my blog posts all morning. C got up a little while ago and he seems to feel about the same as I do about going out in the cold. Course he has to go out tonight for a class at six. I'm going to run out him a thing to block the draft that is coming in around the bottom of the front door. Or maybe I'll just cuddle under another blanket.
4:59 pm - C and I caught and early dinner at the
Grand Ely Lodge. He has class tonight at six. Since I'll be spending tomorrow night in
Duluth before I fly home Thursday morning, this was my last time for spending time with him. When we got back I started the rental car. It turned over, but hard. Hopefully letting it run and warm up will be enough to get it started tomorrow too.
5:54 pm - I ran down to
Pamida and picked up that thing to block drafts. I wound up picking up a couple of movies, "Appaloosa" and
Swing Vote
,for C and I to watch tonight. It has warmed up to a balmy -10.
10:02 pm - We have finished watching
Appaloosa
which wasn't bad but kind of slow. Now if C's DVD player doesn't screw up we might get through the second movie. And when C and Map finish their late dinner
1:37 pm - It was a clear ride down to the city, just a small snow shower in Virginia. I am already missing C, Map, and Ely. It is always so hard to leave. Some day I'm not going to leave. Since I'm town and can't check into the hotel until after three , I'm grabbing lunch at the Olive Garden.
3:31 pm - I got rid of the worst rental car I've ever driven. The tires had no traction at all. The hotel came to get me at the airport, so now I'm in my room, comfortable and warm. I printed my flight ticket [I got an up-grade to first class on one leg] for the morning. So that's it I can just relax the rest of the day. Except I'd still like to be back with C. I really don't want to go home.
