Getting Fired Up
Nov. 9th, 2022 09:58 amYesterday morning, I was up early enough for the Day Jobbe that was able to catch the lunar eclipse on the back end.
( Wrong Tool for the Job )
After the brief snap of the eclipse, I got back inside and got to work. It was cold and promised to get colder, with snow on the way. After I got off work (around 1 PM), I decided it was time to get the fireplace going for the first time this season.
( Light It Up )
It took a few hours, as the first fire usually does, but by and by the living room started to warm up sufficiently that the feeling came back into my fingers. I try to keep the thermometer in the living room about 20°C or so. Also, I can now set a kettle of water on the stove so that anytime I want a hot drink, I can do so. I celebrated this by having my first hot chocolate of the season later. When the snow started falling that afternoon, I settled in, happy to have a warm fire going.
