I didn't write early as I usually do. The power went out at 3:30am due to the ice and snow storm we had been having. It is still out now. I just took a walk with the dogs -- it is early afternoon, maybe 1pm -- and was awed by all the broken trees I saw, encased in ice, some of them merely bent over to a tremendous degree but not broken yet. Case in point is the willow in my back yard. Bent right over. And further off and beyond is the old grandmother willow -- she dropped 2 very large branches at least.
L called me because of course there is power in SS but finally even he had to acknowledge we really can't work today without heat, lights, phones, and computers.
I had gone to bed praying the power would stay on, but I awoke at one point early and realized the aquarium was no longer on and so that was that. I do well and truly -- I don't know what I was going to say. I just got off the phone with C-- she is heading over to PB's, because they have power. I am holding out the optimistic hope that we get ours back soon too. C had a terrible disaster at her house the last time this happened and I hope she doesn't have to endure that again. It nearly ruined her house.
I was all up for writing this when I first started but now I feel all dispirited again. The sun is managing to shine through this window now and then and that is nice. So I lose a day's pay. Oh well. I'd really like a nice cup of tea. I had also received child support money -- miracle! -- from FF yesterday and had planned to mail it to M but with the power out, my guess is the bank is closed and I don't even want to hike down there to find out otherwise. And so I am ending this one page short.
