I did not get the second Mercury sock done by the end of November. Not even close.
That’s all I’ve gotten done on the second sock. Last week was a crazy week, and it culminated with our furnace crapping out on us.
We were already in the works (ie had just signed the paperwork) for a new one, but it wasn’t set to be installed for a couple weeks. We are taking advantage of a government program for “greening” up our home, but it means undergoing an energy audit and jumping through a bunch of hoops for approval.
When we called the installation company to let them know we were without heat, they said they could bump up installation, but it would still have to be after the audit.
The audit is tomorrow morning. Thankfully, we’ve got a couple infrared space heaters, and they’ve kept the house quite comfortable throughout the weekend. (Though I took off to Mom’s to do some quilting – more on that tomorrow).
So the furnace will be installed Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Maybe then life will slow down just a tiny bit.

Not the best time to go without heat! I hope it progresses just fine!

I’m sorry about your furnace. It never seems to be at a good time for them to go out. I’ve been missing for a little over a week because our kids were here last week. I think I’ve caught up on all of your news though. Our kids were here for too short a time. For Thanksgiving I made, Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, relish tray, cranberries. My sister brought pies, niece brought rolls and Mandy made sweet potatoes. Dennis and I lugged all of the food to Mandy and Brads and we ate way too much of it. I managed to catch something last Tuesday and woke up to no voice and a sore throat Wednesday and still have both. I can’t get into my dr. and was hoping to wait it out since the covid test was negative, but it’s been a week and no better. I’m hoping to wake up miraculously better tomorrow so I don’t have to go to the walk in clinic.
Take care.
Blessings,
Betsy
