Brrrr - too cold for me

Saturday January 22, 2011    Day 206
It is cold here - in the 40s during the day, freezing at night. Our heater did not go off last night nor all day today. Indeed, it struggled but did not bring the apartment temperature up to a comfortable level. As a result, we spent most of the day sitting near the radiators reading/writing/playing on our computers. We did go out to the grocery store, as things will be closed tomorrow and we need food in the apartment as well as Cook & Eat supplies.

I awoke about 3:15 a.m. and was unable to get back to sleep, so I arose and stayed up until 7:30 a.m., then fell asleep again and awoke at 10:30. We hurried out to the market before it closed at 1:00, then napped again this afternoon for an hour. Later we went out to the English Corner Shop, where we found Crisco. This after I bought three pounds of butter for pie crust. Not a problem - we will use up the butter.

I intended to unpack, but was too lazy. Our apartment is still quite cool, so we spent most of the time beside the radiator under blankets trying to stay warm.
