It’s noon. Made second coffee now to go with the cinnamonrolls that are soon popping out of the oven. Damn, I am such an excellent housewife. Never married, never will be probably but damn good wifing :). That’s the first new word I thought out this year. I have had some good words before but this takes the cake. Wifing. Damn, I must be genius, I shall give myself a prize of some sort. Maybe an early rum! That will do!

It’s the age (my age, mind you) and the technological advancement that has finally, after decades of wild guessing and failing, brought to me the weather forecast. I now know without opening door or window how much and what I have to wear if I want to survive. Today at night I finally closed the window in my bedroom that has been open all year long. It started to feel crisp and the three covers were not enough. Got a few hiccups starting the engine in the mo, as it’s diesel engine. But as I use the fancy Finnish diesel that is designed for – 32 C it gave me a few seconds of adrenaline but then started. Coughed a few times and then ran smoothly. Waited five minutes or so and went to do the job I booked last year. You know the last year, shittiest yet. Saw -21 C today. Form my american readers thats about -6F.  Had to do one hour round in freezing cold. Just one hour of work outside. And it was horrible. How could I do 18 hours shifts in this weather beats me. Outside 18 hours straight. No lunch, no toilet. I must have been crazy. The point of no food nor drinks policy that I set for myself was due to the endless layers of winterjackets and four pairs of pants. So I refused any drinks because I simply could not go to toilet. My job is to keep my eagle eyes on things happening. A watchdog. The best one. Or the only one standing. I measure the success of my nasty job by how many enemies I have made. The inborn russian mentality of theft that they have is 100% contradiction to my understanding of fair and honest play. I don’t steal, I don’t lie. They can’t live without theaft and lies. It’s actually amazing topic for social studies – russian brain and it’s quirkyness. They have tried so many times to bribe me, which is amazing because I have stated that many a times that no “russian kind of business” is never going to be accepted. I rather go poor and starving.

Went to check up on my cottage yesterday. That means feeding wild cats and birds too. Last there was just two cats, gave them fresh food, they ate it all. Then before I left I put another half kilo of canned food. This time there was seven cats! All hungry and shivering madly, because it was – 18C :(. They have no place to hide. I have to make some sort of heating system for them in the feeding house. Some sort of heating bulb that reacts and switches on with movement sensor. I have to make it fast because January and February have always been the coldest months and it’s promising – 25C in a week or so.

Off to neverland now, took sleeping pill to get into proper schedule. I have to get to bed much earlier in order to wake up as common people. Meaning I would need to wake up way before noon 🙂 

Stay warm and cool

Happy New Year!
