December 21, 2007 

just can't get moving today. I slept in until almost 9am and here it is 11:30 am and I am ready to take a nap. It is -22C/-7F, but that is not what it is. There is no wind chill or anything as the air is still, but I feel like a 3 toed sloth. I am glad I have those ear muffs on my calf. 

Good news maybe. I was looking at pictures of my dog box last night to show a friend and realized that the dog boxes were on a short bed pickup last year, so theoretically the same length as mine. I am going to go measure the boxes today ( as soon as I shake this sloth-like persona) and see if they will only hang the little bit over like they did on the short box and check the width. If so.. I am smiling. I was planning on running dogs about 8 am and I have not even made it further than the front porch to grab firewood. I also have to go to town to pick up a parcel, which is probably from my mother and I keep convincing myself I can't wait until Monday.
