+ Aiter getting a cab home, I spent the morning making phone {> ealls to my insurance agent and answering silly questions put by / the assessor (sample â€" "had you been drinking?" If I had. I °> wouldn‘t be likely to admit it over the phone.) Being without > .my car was only one problem. The temperature in my husband‘s 4 :Iab and office had remained at well below freezing for several $ dqs and all production had stopped. The water supply had i frozen, all the materials and chemicals we work with were solid | _ chunks of ice, despite two coal and wood stoves going night and ; day, and we were way behind, with deliveries. Obviously . we _ needed a furnace, but I knew Ken had dediged the business i couldn‘t afford it Now Brian, his partner.\ I decided we _had to do something or close down the building. I managed to "find a neighbour who had a spare space heater; we went to collect _ it and discovered it was in a shutâ€"down cottage in the middle of °_ a small wood with snow up to our knees. We finally got it to the §_ lab., the expert came to install it and then informed us that it / _ wouldn‘t work safely and he couldn‘t recommend putting it in. â€" By this time, Brian and I were desperate: we‘d have taken to f strong drink if we‘d had the money, but failing that we ordered a /â€" furnace which was installed by Friday. By Saturday we were i singing at our work and walking around in Caribbean heat. ‘ All I have to do now is explain to Ken how we managed to _ spend all this lovely morley without even trying. When he â€" phoned last weekend and asked. "Any problems. dear?" I found _ myself lying without even a quaver in my voice. "Where‘s no point * in worrying him before he comes home â€"â€" we can all have a cosy ;â€" worry together then about how we‘re going to pay for it. Since then my life has run its usual serene course of collectâ€" ing sheep hearts and oddments of pig from Canada Packers, colâ€" lecting cats from farms which all have driveways half a mile long and six feet deep, delivering children to various lessons, trving to start the truck, going to rehearsals most nights for the play next weekend, etc. And how was your week? Wednesday was just as cold. 1 got Jeremy to school and was coming back from taking Julie to nursery school when I rammed a tow truck. I wish now I‘d chosen something my own size. Apart from a few bruises I wasn‘t hurt ‘but the car was a mess. (I have learned since that repairs will cost $250. but most of this is covered by insurance). How did it happen? The inside of my windshield was iced up, despite frantic scrapings as I drove, and as I turned east off the highway, the early morning sun struck the icy glass and completely blinded me. Whenâ€"I could see again, it was too late. I must admit that I feel sheepish about it, espeâ€" cially as the tow truck wasn‘t even scratched. However, 1 feel I‘m entitled to one minor accident every 100,000 miles. ~_ I‘ve just had another ot fhose weeks which make me suspect there‘s a cosmic conspiracy aimed at little me. In one week had my first car sccident, spent $600 behind my husband‘s back and received the year‘s first garden catalogue, which will cerâ€" tainly lead to more reckless spending. After all that, I wasn‘t surprised to learn that we‘re heading towards another Ice Age =â€" it seemed a fitting end to a catacysmicweek. Ken went off to Chicago on Sunday evening for a protracted ~sales trip and the children immediately started squabbling about who was going to sleep with me first. I don‘t think this is unâ€" diluted affection for Mum, as much as the urge to put one over _on the others. Monday was tranquil, although at the time I didn‘t think so; I had twice as much ferrying of kids to do with Ken away and I spent a stimulating twenty minutes in the back yard shovelling frozen dog dirt into a large paper bag (this is one of my less publicized chores, which results from keeping two dogs fenced in a garden â€" I‘ve often wondered how other people gope with this situation). Apart from coming to grips with nature like this, all was peaceful On Tuesday it was 20 below when I got up, but the Morris started; I got Jeremy up to the 8 a.m. bus and was taking Julie to nursery school when the fun started. "Halfway up the north lake road, a neighbour of mine had knockâ€" ed down a child on his way to school (it turned out later that he was only bruised but at the time he was rolling in the snow in agony and crying); with a temperature of below zero and a bonecutter wind of at least 25 mph we couldn‘t leave him there §o risked carrying him into the back of a car which took him off. Meantime, my neighbour, much distressed, staved where she was to wait for the police. Half an hour later, on my way home again, I found her still sitting in the car. I undertook to phone the police when I sot home and was told that they‘d been too busy to come but that she could go home and they‘d visit her there. I said, "But surely one has to stay at the scene of an acâ€" cident until the police arrive?" The cop at the other end said. "Oh no, as long as you report it to the police, it‘s okav." (I still don‘t believe it.) So I drove back again, gave her the news andf she started for home, but in turning slid into a ditch of deep snow. I tried but couldn‘t push her out on my own until some other people came along. By the time [ got home. it was after 10 a.m. and I had a glass of hot milk for my shattered nerves.
