heat me up

day 141
at madness manor
i turn on the heat
using my fancy-dansy
ductless mini-split
on exactly
the same day
i have the cast iron
radiators
hauled away for scrap
meanwhile
with a yard full of stacked wood
& a woodburning stove
squatting on my porch
i am still
navigating
the adaption of my capped chimney
into a working
heat source.

i keep hoping the woodstoves will be installed before the snow comes…but every day i wonder if that is a pipe dream. it’s a bit chilly in madness manor, but i have four lovely minions to keep me warm.
