Winter is not messing around
January 4th, 2014 11:10 pmIt's turned pretty darned cold here in Virginia. Yes, I know that it's winter and all but we don't usually see the really low digits. Well, all that is going to change very soon. Monday night is forecasted to be THREE DEGREES. That's really cold. The high for Tuesday? Eighteen. Compared to three, yes, that's 'warmer' but I am not ready for it to be that cold outside!
The bowls that I threw the other day cleaned up pretty nicely. Since I have a sore spot on my thumb, I can't throw until it heals, so I made a couple of yarn bowls on Thursday. Maybe I should get my act together and glaze pots so that I can run the kiln overnight. The only wildcard will be if the weather plays havoc with the electricity. That would be havoc indeed since we don't have much wood for the stove.
Today was a double doctor day -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daecabhir went to see the doctor because the crud his his dealing with is lingering in his system and Duchess went to the vet because she a viral conjunctivitis that popped up yesterday. Brodie came along with us to see Dr. Rushing and the entire staff thought he was a cutie pie. Brodie weighed in at 35 pounds and was proclaimed worm-free. Duchess weighed in at 67 pounds and came home with eye ointment.
Brodie is doing very well and continues to amaze us with his fast learning. We've not had an accident in the house for at least three days, he's getting better at letting us know when he has to go out, he's learning to wait before bolting out of his crate, etc. He and Duchess play well both inside and out. Not sure if I have said it here already or not, but 'Karma' must be Brodie's middle name because Duchess is certainly getting what she so richly deserves in a little brother.
