Cold, cold, cold

We may not be Fairbanks or Nome, but it’s still cold. The low so far this week, which it just hit, is 8 degrees.

Last night, I finally moved one of the electric heaters to the basement to keep it from completely freezing. That meant our oil heater spent much of its time on during the night.

Today I went out and purchased another oil-filled radiant electric heater to set next to our oil  heater. Even though the electric can’t keep up, it slows down the cooling off so that the oil heater doesn’t come on nearly as often.

I had a dental checkup and cleaning today – fun, fun, fun… Umm… Maybe. The main reason was that a few weeks ago I discovered a wisdom tooth had started to fall apart. There’s no pain or anything, but even so, leaving it alone is probably not a good idea. So late next month I’m scheduled to go in for extractions of both of the wisdom teeth in the upper jaw. Not fun at all… On the plus side, the dentist, new to town, is young and was very professional.
