Today is the day after Christmas and it is serene and calm here in my aunt’s house, except for a little noise for the kids here, which is nice to hear once in a while.
- I am going to write a few articles and then maybe go for a run before it gets too icy cold out there.
I think right now it is only about 42F and I think this may be the hottest time of the day, so it looks like we will make a fire in the fireplace or maybe just run the central furnace for a bit. I ate about 14 rumballs yesterday and am feeling the effects of it today as my joints hurt a little more than they used to a couple days ago. My HVAC tech friend made the rumballs and I couldn’t stop eating them, as they remind me of when I was a kid and used to eat them at my grandmother’s lake house. I don’t think they have that much rum in them but they still taste really good and give me a good sugar buzz. The space heater in the office where I am writing now is keeping this room warm, but the rest of the house is still kind of cold. My bedroom is the coldest though, as I keep the vent closed in the room so I can sleep better at night. I don’t like to have any heating in my room, and they don’t have zoned heating and cooling in the home, so I need to close the vent manually.
