Yesterday morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There is no way that I will venture outdoors this morning without wearing clothing. I woke up to -25 Celsius, a temperature that was made significantly colder because of wind. The \u201cfeels like\u201d number is -34 Celsius. Thank goodness for central heating and a fireplace and a house that insulates us from the deadly weather that is waiting for us to be foolish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title for today\u2019s post comes from a Game of Thrones: \u201cThe cold winds are rising, and the dead rise with them.\u201d I didn\u2019t watch any of the series, but I have read a few of the first books in the series, good stories in my opinion. Yes, winter weather can be a deadly affair \u2013 here and in George R.R. Martin\u2019s novels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I have to go to a dentist appointment this afternoon, I made sure to put in a shovel and a quilt in the car. I am all about being prepared, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning I am back writing my NaNoWriMo story which now sits at over 23,000 words this 9th day of 30 days of writing to try and reach 50,000 words. My writing buddy, Paul is breathing hard down my neck as we jockey back and forth with our numbers. He is working full time and I am retired full time so it shouldn\u2019t be a close contest. Yet, I have this sinking feeling that he will reach that magic number before me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Well, tomorrow morning we drive to my son\u2019s home, a six-hour drive in good driving conditions, for a long weekend of visiting with grandchildren. Writing will be on pause, well mostly. Since I usually get up an hour before everyone else, I should be able to add a few hundred words here and there. One of the reasons for making this trip in November rather than in October, is the fact that the book, Space Cadet Academy 2 wasn\u2019t in hand in time. It\u2019s grandson #6s birthday gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it\u2019s time for me to get back to the story that is impatiently waiting for my attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
