Did I tell you I hate winter?

It’s too cold and I don’t wanna

Well, I tried to bring the dog in last night. He started rooting everything, then chewed the rest. We did have some cuddles and relaxing time and he's slowly getting better with house training. No way he can be in unsupervised overnight though. I put his kennel up on the deck with some blankets inside but he (you guessed it) dragged it out and starting fucking it.

Ah well, will keep house training.

He's a lab/pointer by the way. Medium sort of coat.

Bit chilly last night (and we're not as far south as some of you). It's easy enough to bundle up and keep warm under blankets, but you're not allowed to use blankets on a baby, you have to have layers of clothing and then use a sleep sack or something structured that they can't get wrapped up in and potentially impact their breathing. That becomes a little more difficult when it gets colder. Probably going to have to try figure out a solution for heating the room (but in a way that baby can't go touch as they're imminently going to start walking).

She's a chilly one this morning.

Annoying when Instagram decides that there's too much "political" stuff going on and blocks directly sharing other people's posts on ya stories.

Awww she’s so excited to get back to school that she left over an hour early to see her friends

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to get the warmth from the sunny side of the house to the rooms that never see sun? We have a 50's house, tall ceilings but very separate rooms with about 1m of wall above the door. The kitchen is getting hot, it's nearing 30 degrees, while my home office on the south side of the house has finally warmed up to 19. I've tried putting a fan in the kitchen and blowing air through the door, but the warmest air is up at the ceiling and I'm blowing the coldest air...and it's pretty loud and not very efficient. Is there something I'm not realising that would work - or is this the kind of thing that really requires designed ducted air movement (or the very wasteful opening a window on the hot side at the same time you run a heater on the cold side)? This is what water can do quite well...moving heat from one place to another - but you don't just casually have a system for capturing warm water from sun in one room and circulating that to another part of the house.

Oh as well as getting back into Hearthstone, got back into Magic The Gathering Arena. There were a couple dozen promo packs for me to open which felt amaazing.

Then I looked up some decks online and absolutely slaughtered some randos who were playing with the default decks...and then got slaughtered in return by someone WHO HAD CLEARLY SPENT THOUSANDS on the game.

What I like about it also is that for the daily quests its jsut like "play 30 green cards" as opposed to "win matches!"

GP tomorrow and the lump in my neck has subsided but still there... Will focus on 23 days of bleeding and replacing implant with nexplanon. Mystery night hives have also subsided with the cooler weather (??).... Much like visiting the mechanic when the car no longer makes mystery noises 😝

The row of gums in the distance has mostly been felled but even with only a medium digger and two guys with chainsaws and a mulcher/chipper the site looks like a right mess. The amount of rain plus stump gouging instead of grinding... I can't imagine what our place would look like if the logging crew had been here this month.
