...I imagine it would feel a lot like central AB right now! Yesterday (during the day) temperatures were around -32C with windchill making it feel like anywhere from -40 to -50C. Last night it dipped down to -38C with a windchill of around -60C. Today's not much better... -28C with windchill around -40C. Fricking cold!!! A guy at JB's work left his vehicle sitting, not plugged in, for 6 hours and the battery froze solid. That sucks. We're leaving the vehicles plugged in 24 hrs/day right now just to keep things in running order... plus, thanks to the remote start, I can start the van and let it run for 15 mins every now and then. :)
So, my son has horrible timing when it comes to getting sick. He got sick yesterday (it began sometime Sunday night after I put him to bed) and we ended up having to brave the cold and go to the doctor's in the morning (he threw up... not spit up... at least three times during the night/early morning). I packed an "emergency kit" for the van before heading out. I found out at the doctor's office (my normal doctor was stuck in the mountains!) that there is a gastrointestinal virus going around the region... in kids and adults too. So, I had to take Logan off his formula and give him pedialyte for 12 hours, then slowly re-introduce formula. Right now he is back up to 4 oz formula (his appetite isn't what is usually is - he normally takes 6 oz per feeding) and I'm still giving him some pedialyte, as he now has diarrhea (though, thankfully, he isn't throwing up anymore)... which the doctor told me to expect with this virus. Logan is definitely feeling better though - we actually got some smiles out of him last night and he's being pretty cheerful today thus far. Poor little guy. The winter cold/flu/sickness season sucks... but it sucks even more with a baby!
We've switched over to Vonage internet phone. After a couple initial bugs, everything is working great and we love it. Our combined phone and internet bills are going to be half of what we were paying before!
Is the writer's strike ever going to end? I miss my evening dramas! Though the next three episodes of House are new... so that will entertain me for a while. A person can only watch so much reality TV without going nutty!

Wow; that is bitterly cold!!!! I hope the cold spell breaks soon! In contrast, it is really mild here today, like 6 degrees!
Sorry to hear that Logan is sick. Sounds like he's on the mend though, which is good!
I heard about the AB temps! I hope they don't come here or I'll have a hard time running... BRRR!
Poor Logan. I hope he's on the mend now. :)
I know what you mean about the writers' strike. I was so happy when Prison Break came back, of course it was pre-empted for the State of the Union address last night. Boo!
I'm also really liking the new show, Sarah Conner Chronicles. It's very well done. I'd recommend! ;) Mondays at 9 on Fox. I'm happy about House coming back too. Though I've been using the break in tv to watch some shows I never had time to watch before. Reaper is pretty good, but it's always on at the same time as House.
I'm fervently wishing for some new Supernatural though... I'm in withdrawal and there are rumours that there are still 3 or 4 episodes out there... come on people!!! ;)
