Fasting blood sugar 135, weight 164.2
It is cold in north Texas. We broke a record this morning, 9 degrees, but no precip, at least at our house. Wind chill is in the negatives. Expecting 6 degrees in the morning. I know that is nothing compared to what northern states are experiencing. All our plumbing comes in on the north side of this old farm house, so we always turn off the water at the meter and drain the pipes when it is freezing. Have containers of water all over the kitchen and bathrooms. But we have a wood stove and will stay warm if electricity goes off as it did in February for the last two years.

Hubby's nephew is a volunteer fireman. He had to be out Saturday night from 2am to 6:30 am fighting a fire. He said his moustache had ice in it. God bless all of our public servants who have no respite in this kind of weather.

Staying at home today, trying to resist the munchies. Cold seems to make them worse!!! I prepared for possible power outages by cooking a crockpot of soup and a crockpot of chicken breast and potatoes. Have a salad in the refrigerator.

We will fare ok but I am concerned about those homeless everywhere!

Good old wood heat. I grew up with that, but don't miss the mess. It does come in handy when the lights go out tho. We have a generator that runs off the PTO on the tractor that will keep things going here.
