I woke up early this morning with the intention to go and walk. My dad calls me just before I was gonna leave. He wanted to give me Cooper's old dog house for Cody. So he came to pick me up and take me back to help him load it up. I went outside and OMG it was COOOLLLLLDDDD!!!! Dang, the wind was blowing and it started to snow. It was really coming down for a while. We went over to his house and loaded up the dog house and brought it back. On the way I told dad that I was planning on walking, but he said it was way too cold. I told him maybe later on when the wind stops, but he said that the weather reports say that it was going to be windy all day long. Sure enough, he was right. The rest of the day on into this evening, it was windy! An icy wind too. I left the heat lamp on for the cats and you should've seen them. They were sleeping in that thing all day, nice and toasty warm. Even with this cold wind, they were snuggled up and warm. I was so happy about that! Cody and Cooper were both in their houses snuggled up in the straw. Cooper has his tarp for a wind breaker and Cody now has two houses. So my animals are good!
Went to church. It was great! Pastor was really upbeat. Me, I was sluggish and tired. This evening was the potluck and program with the other church. That went really great! I got some extra help for the Christmas Program that I'm hosting. That's my last project for the year and I really hope it goes great! So far, the ideas are Awesome!! We talked about that tonight, had a great message, and enjoyed some great food and conversation with everyone. It all went great!
So, it was a pretty busy day. Oh man it was so cold outside! The really cruddy thing was my wood pellet stove...it's giving me crap and problems :( I don't know what the heck happened to it. Before I left for church tonight, I turned it on. It started up really quick and the flame kicked on right away. When I left, the heat was blowing out. Since it was so cold outside, I wanted it to be nice and warm when I got home. Well, when I got home, the stove was completely off. I figured it was at room temperature, but nope, it was cold in the house. I checked the thermostat and sure enough, it was about 50 degrees inside the place. My thermostat was set at 70 degrees. Oh man, I don't know what to do. I fiddled with it for about an hour and a half. The damn thing wouldn't come on. It starts up, but before it really gets going, it acts like it hits room temperature and reverses. The thing cools down, then it completely shuts off. I turned it on again, then again, then again. All three times it did the same damn thing. I'm so frustrated right now. I don't know what I'm going to do. Finally about an hour ago, I got it to work. I unplugged the damn thing, pressed the reset button, and turned it on. Then it came on and got warm! Ugh, I don't know why it's giving me problems. I hoped I wouldn't have any problems with it until after I've had it for a year. I'll need to ask grandpa tomorrow!
Anyway, that's my day. Until tomorrow :( Goodnight!
