... A house this cold doesn't make it any easier.
Slice and I have not been able to use our heater yet; Questar's supposed to come today to unlock it (or whatever they do). This has made for some, ah, chilly autumn mornings at our house. And afternoons and evenings and nights. I found an old article the other day reporting that Roosevelt had reached a record low of -47 degrees. Oy. (that was a tangent)
In the meantime, I've become a bit obsessed with the thermometer....and with devising means to warm the house....poor Mr. Morgan. But thank heavens for afternoon sunshine!
ray i agree i can't get out of bed if it's freezing. i layed there wide awake for a half an hour cause my room is the coldest in the house. dang.
ReplyDeletealso, how is "a child called it"... i have wanted to read that but the guy came to elko once where i saw him and he trash talked mormons if i recall right. anyway, hope you love it and tell me to read it.
Are you reading "A Child Called It"? That's like the saddest book ever.
ReplyDeleteWell, I read "A Child Called It" and also the sequel "The Lost Boy." Both were hard to read. Actually, I found the first book more harrowing than Elie Wiesel's "Night." Maybe it was the writing style (Wiesel seems almost numb), but I found Pelzer's experience to be much more up-close and personal. It was really sad and I hate his mother more than I've ever hated anyone....and I've never met her. I don't think that was his intention, but anyway. Don't read it if you get too involved in books, or if you don't have a tough stomach.
ReplyDeleteYou're tough Jane, I know it. :)
"A Child Called It" bummed me out enough that I didn't need a sequel. Hideous woman. I remember thinking while I read it (six years ago) that if I got the opportunity to kill her, I totally would. I think that's probably not true anymore, but still, I know where you're coming from.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read "Night" - I'll have to look into it.
