Heat!

*Note* this post was written Monday of the Martin  Luther King Jr. Holiday.

We have heat!!!!!!!

I am so happy to not have to walk around in layers and layers and face the static charges from blankets any more. It makes me so happy!

Be smarter than I am check your oil tanks!

A recent picture on Facebook is going around. It has a sign that says "Life is hard, and it's even harder if you're stupid." I would, after that cold weekend have to agree.

No Heat


*Note* this post was written Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday weekend.

This weeks blog is brought to you from under a blanket and with cold hands and feet.

We have oil heat for our house.

In November the oil company came and filled up our tank.

There is a little tube that shows the level of the tank. The tank lives in the basement, something I visit at least once a day.

I have not accounted for how cold some days have been in the last few weeks. I have now paying the price.

I woke up Saturday morning and was like, why is it so cold in here?

I went and checked the thermostat and it was 5 degrees cooler than what it was set for. So I went and checked out the oil tak gauge and it says empty.

We've now ordered more oil but it's a weekend. We'll have to wait and see when they can come. Hopefully Monday. Tuesday at the latest.

This adventure is cold and brought on only by stupidity. Maybe next time I'll keep a closer eye on it. Live and learn and hope not to do it twice.

Cavity Free!

Cavity free for 28 years. This is exciting!

I also think that is one of the reasons, even after braces and a 1/3 of a tooth partially left after a wisdom teeth extraction, I'm still okay with going to the dentist.

I also heard the happy news that my baby teeth are still doing well.

Yes, that is right, my baby teeth. I still have two left. For a long time I thought they were one of the reason's I never felt like I fully turned into a grown up for somethings. I don't think that is true as much as it's just how I'm wired.

Every time I learn about the fate of my baby teeth though I think about the movie "Toothless." The basic plot, spoiler alert, is if you have you baby teeth you can still see the tooth fairy. Once, you loose all your baby teeth you cannot see her any more. I cannot loose these little guys so she comes visit, BUT if she was around I could see her. Which, seeing people other's cannot see probably isn't a good skill to have.....

Does any one else still have their baby teeth? Has anyone else see this movie?
