   calm dogs and a hot stove
Wednesday, December 27 2017
Gretchen was working yet again at the bookstore, but today wasn't like yesterday. The dogs weren't as needy today and spent much of it passed out in the recuperation fort, which was good because I had some things to do that were much more easily done from upstairs in front of Woodchuck, my main computer. It was also the second day of a caffeine fast, which meant occasionally my head was pounding and my fuse was short. It's not as easy to tolerate doggy nonsense (if you are familiar with dogs, you know what I mean) when your adenosine receptors are going crazy from lack of expected levels of caffeine.
[REDACTED]

Meanwhile, the weather overnight had become brutally cold, with temperatures plunging into the low teens. Every time I checked in on the dogs in the recuperation fort, I also usually had to add a big piece of wood to the woodstove to keep it raging. Today I also had to add an electric spaceheater to the laboratory's oil-fueled hydronics to make that environment comfortable enough to work in.
