It's a cold day, good for sitting around watching the Gorilla channel.

I am down to one sink in my house (kitchen), except for the basement sink downstairs, until the bathroom pipes unfreeze. I can get hot water now, but not cold from the sink.

In past years, a single lightbulb burning in the corner of the basement was sufficient to unfreeze the pipes and keep them okay. It's hard to find regular incandescent bulbs when you want them, though, and fluorescent ones just don't put out enough heat. So -- unsafe I'm sure -- I lit a candle lantern and two fairy lamps with candles and placed them there. Maybe in a few hours it'll unfreeze everything.

Today my work is mostly a lot of checking lists over and over, and writing video notes. My eyes could use a vacation.
