I noticed we had a visitor when I went out to empty the ash pail. We got more snow yesterday.
The leak ended up 2 leaks, and since we had to turn the water off, the other water pipes froze. It's not been fun. My counter is full of dirty dishes. The drain froze too. It'll be a long day for me. When I do get water and a clear drain, it'll take me a week to catch up. So frustrating, but leak was repaired, just not the softener line.
I spent most of my day on handicrafts, although I attempted to purge. I didn't get very much put in the box for our daughter and grandkids. My husband got a chuckle watching me though. He said, "aren't you supposed to be cooking cabbage?" Ha ha ha! We'll, I'll have some items for a fall craft show, prepared well in advance anyway.
Anyway, I heard my husband talking to himself over and over for not heat taping those water lines. I tried to get him to do it several times over summer, and he wouldn't listen to me. I think he got the picture this time.
While he was trying to thaw out the rest of the house, I started yet another craft project. More on that later. I'll probably be purging the last two boxes of books. I can't control myself when I'm purging crafting items (ha ha ha!).

Attempted to get this post up this morning, but had to literally throw on sweatpants and a shirt and head out. Youngest broke down. I had to pick her up and take her to work, only to come home and find my husband and a friend in the drive. He had left work to tow her car home, but found out her tire blew (what happens when you drive too long on a tire with low air, but maybe she'll learn).
We had to go back to the big city and get a new tire, then back to the car and then back home. I needed a shower and to brush my teeth. Once we get the fire stoked, we'll make a 3rd trip into town (it's 20-25 minute drive each way). We'll deliver her car to her work location and head back home.
What a morning.....hoping the day goes way better now.
