Well, happy new year's eve, and all that.
I'm toasty warm at kanon42's house again, having abandoned the freezing cold geekhouse. We've no heating oil, no money for heating oil, and a 40 foot driveway buried under more than four feet of snow -- thus making it impossible to even have heating oil delivered via a bad check (an option I've considered -- I really don't want the pipes to burst...)
The two hour drive to k's took five hours, but getting here was worth it. I am loved here. There's something really really wonderful about being accepted as family by your SO's family (the sisters, primarily...)
