Short post today. Being that it is the start of a month, I calculated my energy consumption for the month of February 2011. I generated 193kWhr and only used 35kWhr from the grid for a total of 228kWhr for the month! Compare this to February 2010, 928kWhr used. This reduction is mostly contributed to heating the house with wood for the entire month.
On another positive note, at 10:30pm, I picked up Cheryl from Logan and by 11:30pm she was safe at home for the first time in 5 month! This may conclude this blog for a while. It was difficult to post everyday and I'm sure pretty boring for most people. Thanks for tuning in. I may have future posts just for fun.

2/28/11
The start of the new week. I hope things will settle down a bit, the last few days have been so chaotic that I haven't had much time to blog... let alone clean the house for Cheryl's arrival. This morning the dogs and I were back to our typical routine. After feeding them breakfast, I caught up on two days of blogs, but still behind a day. Next I started getting ready for work, noticed it was getting late, so took the pups on our morning walk.
Only one side of the street had the sidewalk plowed, so that is the side we went to. The dogs were good, we did our walk to the Middle St. Market and back without running into any other dogs. When we got home, I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, then continued to get ready for work. As I was getting ready, it started to spit frozen rain outside. I made it into work on time and proceeded to work on some outstanding tasks.
The majority of my day I was in meetings, only spent an hour or 2 out of meetings over the entire day. At lunch I came home and played with the pups. By this time the weather had turned to just rain. We played for about 15 minutes before I brought them in. Of course, took another 5 minutes to dry the pups off in the mudroom, but that doesn't get rid of the wet dog smell. I had a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, with a few veggie straws on the side. After lunch I went back to work. The rest of the day I was involved in a single meeting.
At 5pm, I left for home. I took the pups right outside and we played ball for another 15 minutes. When I brought them in, I fed them dinner. I got on the computer and sent out a few emails I have been trying to get out for the past few days. Then I made myself a microwave dinner. I have a few in the freezer that I should eat before Cheryl gets back. I watched a little tv, just to catch up on the news... by the way, since when in America does Charlie Sheen being an ass make primetime news? Oh yeah, this is America, we can't talk about the World, only our actor's lives.
At 7:30pm, the dogs and I went out for our evening walk to Middle St. Market and back. This time, both sidewalks were plowed. This may only make a difference to me because I have a favorite side of the street to walk on. The pups were good, the sidewalk was pretty sloppy due to slush, which will freeze nicely tonight. We got home and I dried off the dogs and we settled in for the night. Reece and I snuggled on the couch watching some tv. I fell asleep at around 9:30pm, waking up at midnight. I turned off all the lights and tv and headed to bed.

2/27/11
Sunday morning means basketball. Even the 6" of snow, and still falling, can't keep me from playing a little pickup game. We had 6 guys show up, which was perfect for 3-on-3 games. The teams were pretty evenly matched, we played 7 games and split 4-3. I played until 11:30am. When I got home, I played with the pups a bit, finished shoveling the driveway, then crashed on the couch for a long nap.
I periodically got up to play with the pups and to feed wood in the stove, but pretty much vegged out until 4pm. I got up, took a shower and headed to the grocery store for some food. I ran in to Jill and Tim at the store and we talked for a few minutes. When I got back to the house I fed the dogs. I made myself a pizza for dinner and watched some more tv.
Nothing too exciting, being that I used up so much energy today that I could barely move around. Cheryl sent me her itinerary, looks like she will be back in NH on Tuesday!
