IT'S STILL SO DAMN COLD ;w; plz save me from my 100+ year old house...it's so drafty.........

Anyway- we got some more errands done yesterday! Pat's car got a flat, so we went to our favorite 24 hour tire place to get a replacement. They were delightful, as always, and made sure to fill up all his other tires + the spare while we were there. Everyone is always soooo nice and it's fast, which is nice. And the price is good, even for new tires. Here's hoping his car survives the rest of the winter + Baltimore's shitty roads!!!

After that, we went to a laundromat, because our washing machine is unusable in the extreme cold. All the pipes for the first floor bathroom - which is where the laundry is - are completely uninsulated, thanks to whoever owned this house before us. So we haven't been able to do laundry at home for the past few weeks, and it's really been piling up. We got a decent amount done at the laundromat and were able to fairly easily hang stuff up to dry when we got home, thanks to the amount of cleaning we did the day before. There's so much space in our downstairs now *w*

Liz taped up a few more windows downstairs and came up with the brilliant idea to hang a blanket between the living room and the entry, since that's one of the colder areas on the first floor. Between those things, the living room is.....slightly less cold. It's definitely not warm, but it's getting better. I cannot wait for this winter to be over ;w; I can take some cold, but it's going on too long!!

The girls have been sooooo cute and cuddly, which is a big positive. I don't think I've shared the new cats we adopted last year, since everything was kind of a blur after Lumos passed ;w; We adopted a pair of sisters - Willow and Juniper - and an older male cat - Shadow Box - at the end of the summer. They've made our home very lively...partially because they all have beef with each other XD Willow cannot stand Shadow Box to the point of fighting him on sight, so he's mostly been staying in my bedroom. And then Juniper has some sort of personal vendetta against Lily, which has kept her and Dennis confined to Pat's bedroom. Maybe someday everyone will get along...


Juniper is mostly gray with some white (and a scratch on her nose from a recent fight with Lily, sighs)


and then her sister is like twice her size and has more white splotches- but mostly Willow is just really big, okay, she's a large girl ♥


Shadow Box is all black, all eyes, and no brains ♥ I love him sooooo much (even if he keeps stealing my glasses off the bedside table)
I guess I could have shared pics of the girls where they aren't snuggled up with Liz on the couch, but they look so cute like that!!! Juniper has been sleeping right up against Liz for like an hour now; it's so fucking precious *w* I love cats so much...so good.

blurgghhh I have to go out and get groceries today cuz we need food...it's just so cold.........sobs ;w; I don't wanna brave it, but we gotta eat. We just wanted to wait until the Super Bowl started so we didn't run into last minute "big game" shoppers, I guess :T
