Feel the heat

 Another significantly cold day giving me the excuse to stay inside and enjoy my apartment. Actually had something scheduled for today so I was kind of excited. Dwayne, someone who I've written about before a professional that I worked with a lot in my career over the years was coming over today to have lunch. Typically we go over to the park in the good weather I have sandwiches or something over there and we've done the restaurant thing as well but today because of the cold weather I believe it was decided that we would meet here and have our lunch in the big room downstairs. Nobody's ever there usually over lunch so I knew the room would be available and the room is large enough two lunches could carry on at the same time one not bother the other. Doing stopped at a pho joint and got a buttload of Asian. It was great we had a good time talking about just about everything in particularly the current political debacle the USA is currently involved in. Perhaps the best part of the whole lunch was that he gave me all the leftovers and I'm not proud enough to turn them down- I think that makes sense. I've got at least one whole meal left if not more. I know I've said it before I love leftovers.

I believe I briefly noted this before the fact that my furnace seems not to be working this morning it was 64° when I got up and it was pretty chilly through the night. Today being Tuesday the day after the holiday is the first day that the front office is going to be staffed so early on I wandered I'm down after I'd have breakfast got dressed and ready for the day and notified Jennifer that I was freezing my balls off I think I said but actually but you know. She got right on and of course the guy who fixes it's not here today so she drug out one of the heaters that they have a stock of I guess brought it down and set it up in my room which I've now had running all day. I'm kind of surprised because I've not heard the furnace come on so it still must not be working but the heat seems to be coming big time between my two little heaters. So much so I've turned one off now as I get ready for bed and then we'll turn this one way down and see if it makes a difference sleeping through the night. I was real impressed when Jennifer said the heater up and turned it on. Don't know why but I was immediately taken back to 2001 A Space Odyssey and the monolith. This thing is nowhere near the size of the monolith it's still reminds me. The bottle left was pretty rascally but it just sort of stood there the heater actually swivels back and forth..
