The predicted Arctic blast of cold has arrived here, but I don't mind.  I have no real reason to leave the house today and suffer said extreme cold, because there are plenty of things for me to do inside.  For example, I need to sift through some boxes in the office.  Up until yesterday they had been sitting almost forgotten in the second bedroom.  Now, however, they have been moved to make way for a queen size bed being given to us by my parents.  The reason for them giving it to us is that they do not want to take it with them when move to the other part of the state.  So it is a win win situation for both of parties involved.  They have less to move and our second bedroom gets furnished.

In keeping with my plan for this year, I did a solid amount of reading yesterday.  After a few weeks of neglect, I dove back into the second volume of the His Dark Materials trilogy, The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman.  As I had been warned, the tone of this book is much more dark than the first, but that has not lessened my enjoyment.  I hope to have the book completed by Saturday so that I can start something new from my pile of unread books.
