Well work starts tomorrow. I can't believe it. I'm so ready to go back. These last few days I've been in a funk, feeling worthless, aimless, useless. I think it's because I know I'm about to start work and am anxious for it. Kind of like when you have to work for like two weeks without a day off. The first ten days or so you're fine but the closer you get to your day off you start feeling it, start getting tired and such because you know you're almost off. I think I'm feeling like I am because I know I'm about to start work if that makes any sense.
Winter is definitely here. We've been below 0 for a while now. It was -15 today but nice and sunny. I love days like that! The sun has gone down already. It's 2:45pm right now. We have long sunsets and long sunrises tho. Almost two hours, but the days are remarkably shorter now. I haven't really noticed it in the mornings because I've been lazy and have been sleeping in. But starting tomorrow I'll definitely notice it. December 21st isn't that far away tho. Then our days will start growing again. We gain about 7 minutes of light a day. By mid-January we will be back to almost regular daylight hours.
It's been down to -30 at the cabin. Clara is still taking her time when she goes out to do her business. I was hoping the cold would speed her up but not yet. She'll get there tho. Warning, the following might be TMI! I have gone to the outhouse at midnight when it was -20. It really wasn't that bad. The toilet seat I made is great, it's not cold at all!! Thank goodness!! I put one of those tap lights out there so I can have a little light when I'm sitting there. It's not enough light to read by but I'm not reading when it's -20, I'm getting my business done! LOL
I got a call from my lawyer on Friday. He was going the "due diligence" on my bankruptcy petition. All looks good and they were going to move forward with filing the paperwork. The next step is the court appearance. Ugh. That's the worst thing. I'm so not looking forward to that but oh well. You'd think that my lawyer could appear for me but not the case, I have to go. Oh well, it will be wort it in the long run. A fresh start. I'm anxious to get it done and over with and move on.
On the brighter side I did get to two hockey games this weekend. Watched the Ice Dogs play the Kenai River Brown Bears. The Ice Dogs are having a good year and are first in their division. I enjoy going to their games. I like the Nanook's games as well but I think I like the Ice Dogs more for whatever reason. But it was good to get to the games. Next week it's the Nanooks. Kirk will be back in town so I'll go to the games with him.
Not sure what else I can ramble on about. I'm sure as soon as I post this I'll think of something. LOL It'll just have to wait tho.

Surely not a lot of daylight up there in the winter, huh? All the dark and cold snow, yike. Good luck for the new job!
Blessings on you in new job. I hope the bankruptcy thing will go well -- I know it must be sad, somewhat, but new beginnings are even better.
I don't know how you stand the cold! More power (and warmth) to you!
The picture with the moon is amazing!
