We didn’t make it to the city.
Yes, things have warmed up. We’re a “balmy” -24C, with a wind chill of -36C right now. However, we haven’t warmed up long enough for the van to notice.

This is an odd time of the month.
It’s one of the things about having an income that comes in once a month. It may make budgeting easier, but by the end of the month, things start running out. Then we’re left with the question of, is it worth driving to town to pick up a day or two’s worth of stuff, or do we wait the few days until we can do the big monthly shop?

Instead of a Costco trip, we buy locally, and the prices are so much higher, we end up not as well stocked for the month.
