Here I am, trying to smile bravely in my still-chilly house:



I'm wearing the Pebbles hat and that's also the Lightning-Bolt Family sweater I knit a year or so ago.

It's 60* F in my house right now.

The furnace guy called me back this afternoon (I'm liking him better and better) to see if the electrician called me. I told him no, and he was surprised - turned out he called the guy yesterday afternoon right after leaving my house. So grrr. I hope this doesn't mean the electrician is swamped, or doesn't feel like working and doesn't immediately need the money (a common problem with some of the workmen types around here).

I do have a space heater - a space heater with a remote control, a feature that amuses me no end. (Were they going after the male market? "Honey, I think we should buy this one. It has a remote control!") Although, it will probably prove useful - I can turn it on before getting out of bed (it still creeps me a little to think of running the thing overnight).

Oh, and here's a closeup of the silly little hat made out of the Patons Pebbles. The picture doesn't do it justice - it's much more interesting in real life.
