methotrexate is kicking my ass. Slept most of the day. Though first thing this morning the house 'fix it' guy was by to check out the oven. He tinkered around, pulled out the schematic paperwork, was perplexed about something, then said he might be back. He was heading to an appliance store and then mentioned that sometimes it's just easier to buy a new one...
So an hour or so later I got word from the landlady that a new oven/stove is coming tomorrow morning at 9.
See, this is one of the many reasons why I've enjoyed being a 'renter' for... my adult life. When something breaks, ensuring you have a decent landlord, it gets replaced..... For FREE! and with no labor on your part whatsoever!
Had to laugh, saw this article on CBC
High snowbanks and power lines don't mix, NB Power warns
NB Power advises people to stay 10 metres — or the length of a bus — away

While it might make for a cool picture to stand atop a high snowbank, NB Power is warning people across the province not to get too close to power lines.
Even if a line isn't touched, an electric current can occur and cause serious injury, the utility says.
"What can happen is once you approach an overhead line you don't necessarily have to touch it to get an electrical shock, an electrical arc can occur," NB Power spokesperson Sheila Lagacé said Wednesday.
NB Power posted a warning on social media after seeing pictures of people standing on top of high drifts and high snowbanks after recent storms, she said.
"Even staff in our regional office in the Acadian Peninsula called to notify about those big snowdrifts and the power lines that were very close to it, so we put out that post."
Safety first

Safety is paramount for all, Lagacé said, so NB Power wanted to remind people to stay a certain distance from power lines.
With water making up about half the human body, a person would be a conductor of electricity and would act like a grounded object, she said.
"When that person is too close to the power line or the live conductor, there's a risk of getting an electrical shock, especially when the voltage is high."

Lagacé said high voltage electricity can jump.
"For example, kids are playing in wet snow — that can create a dangerous situation."
The best thing to do is to stay 10 metres away — or the length of a bus, she said.
If high snowbanks are a concern, NB Power will work with the proper officials to have them removed.
But the best thing to do, Lagacé said, is to stay away and stay safe.
Have people become so .... dumb? I mean, I did a lot of dumb stunts as a kid and young adult, but c'mon now....
Tomorrow, depending on the accuracy of the upcoming weather and now, I agree, most weather networks/weather people, forecasts, are shit, but I find when you cross reference a group of information from different sources, you can get a good idea, this is how I work with all information i'm in-taking, but according to those reports, tomorrow is the LAST extremely cold day in the next month.
PLUS, this weekend, time changes, so, MORE daylight! Even though the methotrexates' making me vomit, this makes me happy.... The weather news, not the vomiting.
Don't worry, no vomiting videos, I promise
