It's -1F or -17C here today.

I did not calculated what this early arctic freeze and wind chill would do to the oil tank and turning up the heat for the Aunties on Saturday. The last 5 days have used up over an 8th of a tank. I have a delivery that will come by Thursday. ... The tank is at less than 1/8. It will not last until delivery.

I am going to have to turn off the heat and put the bathroom sink on drip.

My friend was in the ER 11 hours. She actually fractured her femur back on 12/23. They spent a lot of time trying to decide about surgery, but her COPD is so bad they do not want to put her under anesthetic for the operation as there is a 90% chance she won't wake up.

At 3 PM today the decided to admit her and keep her over night for pain management. She cannot take opioid pain killers at all as they make her sick and when she is sick like that her COPD kicks in and she stops breathing.

The only good thing is that they have finally agreed to let her have oxygen.
