And it goes on...

Today I work up to my husband standing above me, holding our little girl in his arms, and informing me the furnace stopped working in her half of the trailer.  Let me explain. Our trailer has two propane furnaces in it. One is in the addition which is our room and one is in the original trailer where Hadassah's room is. So, our side of the trailer was nice and toasty while my daughter's side was dropping quickly in -20C weather. (This also happened over night). Thankfully the furnace had not been off long and my daughter was dressed in her fleecy sleeper so she wasn't too cold. But it was not a pleasant start to our morning as my husband could not get it going again.

Both of us worked today and had to get our the door so there was no time to fiddle with the wood stove. I loaded up Logan, his crate, and Dassa into my car and headed over to chase my horses out of the feed. They eat over night from the hay and then get to go eat grass during the day. I decided to check on "cat" who was yowling. I'm not sure if I have mentioned "cat" before but she is a little hairy thing that was homeless and is living in our tack shed. I fed her and decided to get her some water even though she can leave the tack shed and drink from the stock water herself... or she could if it hadn't been frozen solid. Yep, my two stock waters were nothing more than a block ice. But it turned out the breakers for them were just turned off and once they were on they thawed out with now temperament damage. Our furnace isn't so fortunate. Neither is our new to us quad that stopped running...

So my lesson of today is "just keep swimming". And I pray that tomorrow I wake up and nothing else bad has happened.
