It was sixty-three degrees in the house when we got up this morning a clear indication that there was something wrong. Puppy's Pop checked out the thermostat and in was blank except for the symbol for batteries. He went down town to buy some because my Panasonic Oral Irrigator uses up AA batteries like crazy and I had forgotten to replenish our supply. We had C's, D's, AAA's and Lithium 3Volt. Go figure. In any case he put the three batteries in correctly and the thermostat was still blank.Thank goodness I had the Honeywell instructions and I even knew where they were! It said to reverse the batteries for a few seconds and then put them back in correctly. Eureka, it worked! Since we were all up early I made a fine breakfast of waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns the only problem was that Kiddo is getting sick. He has a sore throat and his stomach is queasy so Grampa and I did have to eat a lot so there would be no waste. Kiddo quit after two little sausages and a few sips of warm water.
He did play out in the sunny but cold and windy playground for an hour after school yesterday but when we got home he was dragging. After his usual Riverview supper I beat him at Cootie and he beat me at Scrabble before we settled in to watch Cars 2. It's all right but no where near as much fun to watch as the original. After playing laser tag with Grampa and reading the Twelve Days of Christmas pop-up book for me he was off to bed. This morning we played Wii Resort and made puzzles before bringing him home. He didn't even use the iPad in the car but went immediately to sleep. Hope he'll be fine for Tuesday because he doesn't have school and we are planning on going to Oakland Beach for the afternoon.
Grampa has found the new Yankee Flyers Field off of Rukstella Road in Brooklyn. He is there now mowing his circle and getting ready to fly. It's quite cold and somewhat windy so I hope all goes well. I just returned from my walk and after speaking to a neighbor found out that another neighbor is an electrician and out of work. Perhaps he can help us choose and set up a generator. Can't trust CL&P or the State to get their jobs done right so we'll be looking into getting something so we'll always be able to have heat and a fridge working!
Quote: Good humor is the clear blue sky of the soul, highly favorable to the discoveries and progress of genius.
It was the saying of an ancient sage that humor was the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject that would not bear raillery was suspicious, and a jest that would not bear a serious examination was certainly false to it. ___Shaftesbury
