Monday turned into one of those days that demanded an afternoon nap, and that nap persisted until after midnight. A couple of hours later, following some time on the Idernet, I was feeling tired again, but made the mistake of downing a bit of coffee with some ice cream, and I haven't been back to sleep since. In fact I'm feeling a bit hyper. I've probably screwed up the rest of the day.

But then the day itself has brought a pleasant surprise. The on-again off-again rain is on again. A shower began shortly before dawn, and though it is currently not even sprinkling the odds are excellent we will be getting showers of and on all day, and much of the night, and probably tomorrow as well. And so far the furnace has not come on. Despite a temperature outdoors in the low fifties, it is 73 in here. The insulation apparently did a good job of accumulating yesterday's heat, and is now parceling it out. I doubt it will be able to keep the place warm all day and into the night, let alone tomorrow as well, but every hour it does is money saved from the utility company's grasp.

Anyway, I've got a while day ahead, with nothing planned and nothing spontaneous likely to occur. I suppose I'll dribble it away on the Idernet, as usual. As it's so cool, I'm thinking I might bake something. I'm sure there are boxes of mixes on the shelf, and the remaining eggs might not have gone bad yet. A lemon pound cake would be nice, and I think I have a sweet potato to go with dinner of... whatever. I'll think about it later. Right now I'm just going to go watch the rain I hear smacking to stove's vent pipe again. And make some tea. Tea this morning, hot cocoa this afternoon. Perfect. Thanks, rain.
