dreamflowerSo far, so good. But we are supposed get hit with a major ice storm in a few hours, and all the TV and radio stations are talking as if it's a done deal that we'll lose power. So just in case I vanish for a few days, that will probably be the reason. I hope not, though. I hate being without my computer...
I'm supposed to go to work, and I don't see them closing the store, but it's not far and if the weather's already bad by the time I have to leave I'll have my son drive me and pick me up. (Or the DH-- he's gone in to the office, but plans to leave and come home as soon as he deals with a few things-- but if an emergency comes up, of course he's on call; he's already told his employees not to come in.)
Amusing: they just had a little thing on the local news about how your food could be safe in the fridge or freezer for 5-6 hours if the power goes off, and to throw out stuff after that. DUH! PEOPLE: Ice storms mean it's FREEZING outside; put the food in a box and stick it out on the front porch (or the back) for Pete's sake! Sheez! That's what we did the last time, and we didn't lose any food at all-- except what we ate up, of course!
