Today was one busy day. I started the day at 6:30 am to go for my weekly grocery shopping. I had to make three more stops to buy things for the upcoming freezing weather. We are expecting temperatures to drop down to 13°F next week. I am expecting power outages and bad driving conditions. So, I filled all my propane tanks to capacity, picked up a bag of de-icer and a few bags of wood pellets. I was done shopping around noon. Once home I cleared the parking area of vegetation and any debris. I added crushed rocks around the parking area to prevent us from slipping while getting in the car. It was getting muddy and very slippery after rain fall.  Right after that, I sanitized the bedroom. My wife was having breathing issues when she went to bed. So, I dusted, swept the hard wood floors, washed the sheet in hot water and aired the room while she was at work. Hopefully, it will help. Right after that, me and the kids packed all the Christmas decorations and stored them away for next year. The house looks very spacious now. Kids are running around and sliding across the hardwood floors. Once everything was put away, I headed to the kitchen to teach the kids to make brownies. It is my own personal recipe. While baking I washed the dishes and sat down for dinner. When the brownies were out of the oven, I headed to the laundry area to clean up the cat litter and to fill the water and food dispenser.

I tried some of the brownies and they came out perfect. I ran upstairs to my office and started to write in my journal. I am absolutely exhausted and going to take a shower and head to bed to rest for tomorrow. Good night everyone!
