More maintenance

As sunny and bright a day as can be (not counting the three clouds) but still witching cold; a good day to scrape the layer of crumbly ice off the driveway. It has the consistency of coarse rock salt. I got the world's poofiest, warmest North Face goose down hooded thing from Mr. M for just that sort of thing. It makes me look a bit like Kenny McCormick except in black.

ION-January is self maintenance month; annual-every-possible-check-up and look-see. I'm thankful for qualified individuals who are willing to do some of the less glamorous look see's.

Sun is rising a bit earlier now and starting to creep back slowly. Yahoohoo.
