Doing pretty good here, all things considered. The shutdown really doesn't affect my wife and I as we both still have to work. She is a nurse, I am a federal building custodian. I am really scared for my 15 year old son though. Pennsylvania has mentioned that they may not start school in the fall. He was just starting to realize how important school is, and was really working hard for the hopefully upcoming football season. I have to take it all on the positive side, or I will go nuts. Even if they don't start school or football, I get to do lots of things with him, and teach him real life skills. So far he has been by my side doing everything, firewood, home repairs, gardening, fishing, and cooking. I am liking it, but he needs school, his friends and football. On the firewood side of things, I have 1 and a half seasons worth of firewood split and stacked, and about 2 cords needing to be split. Hopefully this summer I can get the 4 year plan complete. Still burning almost every night too, mostly my little chunks, and what I left in the bin.
