The first day of February and the weather has indeed warmed up to above zero once again.  The arctic temps have gone away for a while now.  Winter has finally arrived – January 22.  Strange as it may be, I was surprised to find some businesses in Janesville were even open during the arctic cold.  Yes,  I ordered out yesterday and today for lunch and tonight’s supper. It was a day of Diagnosis Murder, Matlock, Perry Mason, and Dr. Phil, and the 5 o’clock news today.  I also played games on my iPhone, read, and snuggled up with Bing Crosby the Cat while sitting in my favorite corner chair under my electric blanket.  Now at 7:40 PM I need to think about closing up shop and going to bed.  I am getting tired.  I have broken a rule I have had the past couple of nights to write in my diary before going to bed, and that rule needs to be reinforced once again starting tomorrow. I just wanted to catch up in my journal writing before going to sleep.  I am going to say good night now.  Good night.
