Cold Night

I'm sitting up here at five in the morning trying to keep the house warm using the oven to supplement the heat put out by a single electric heater. It is damndibly cold, 20 degrees colder than we generally need to keep it for my dad to be warm. All I can do is the best I am able to do, but damn if I am not going to insist someone come sit with my dad in the afternoons or evenings so I can get some sleep. Mom used to stay up with him while I got some sleep, then I would stay up with him while she slept, but now I am staying up nearly 24-7 and it's doing really bad things to my ability to think much less work. And freezing my backside off is not helping.
