Not so cold, all of a sudden

[jennlk]

So we've been in the grasp of a polar vortex for the last two weeks, with temperatures rarely getting out of the single digits above zero (Fahrenheit). Yesterday, it broke. The temperature has been rising steadily since about 10 am yesterday, and it's currently 34F in the backyard. The birdies are taking advantage of this, and are bathing in great numbers -- as I type this, there are about 20 sparrows in the birdbath, and a bunch more waiting for their turn. I will have to go out and refill the birdbath after the current wave of bathing.

FCB rehearsal tonight -- the first one in a month. The next gig isn't until March, so it's not like we'll be crunched for time. It does mean that tonight will be a lot of sight-reading and evaluating.

I've been trying to find new curtains for the living room - the ones there are light and summery, and I want something a little darker and perhaps a bit heavier fabric. I found some curtains that I thought would be quite nice - colors were dark but not too dark, fabric heavy enough to drape nicely but not stiff. And then I got them home and they weren't the right size. The size as listed would have been just big enough, but they're about 6" narrower than spec, and don't even cover the glass portion of the window, much less the frame. Boo. Back to the shop with them.

Eeep! I forgot to tell you jebra will not be at band practice tonight. He went off to work MAGFest (or however they spell it) and is not even to Pittsburgh yet.

It finally broke this week, as well - was in the 50s yesterday! So happy, and I hope it stays far away.
