The Day After


Dom stayed up until 3 am last night watching the election returns but even then there was not much to report. At 3 am here it is still only 9 pm on the U.S. west coast. By the time I checked in four hours later it was all over—Obama was president-elect, McCain had conceded and it was all a big election rehash/new administration speculation fest. So I went back to bed for another hour.


After heavy rain this morning the weather improved. The afternoon turned partly sunny and by evening it was clear. Dom hauled some more firewood to the barn as we have been going through it rapidly. He figures we now have enough to last through the weekend.


I cleaned the house in preparation for guests and ran a load of wash. During inclement weather laundry is hung upstairs on the third floor. Everything takes longer inside and everything has been dried inside for the last two weeks. Jeans can take a couple of days to fully dry so I often turn them inside out. The trickiest things are sheets because they are so large. I usually turn on the heat and hang them over the largest radiators.


There will be no blog posts until Sunday as it will be difficult to do any with guests staying. A full report of our activities will be forthcoming.
