Checking in

[dreamflower]

I'm just making a quick post from the local internet cafe--it's at the other end of town, and has power and internet available.

We've been two days without power at the house, but we have gas for heat, cooking and hot water, so we are in no chance of freezing, and we don't need a cooler--I put all the food from the fridge out on the front porch.

Anyway, they said it could be as long as a week without power, so who knows--it's not as bad as Katrina. *shrug* But some of the trees look like they did down there--except with a coating of ice!

Thanks to everyone. I don't know when I'll be online again, though!

(((((((hugs to flist))))))

Goodness! I'm glad you have heat and hot water, at least, but I sure hope you get power back soon.

*hugs*

Good to hear from you and very glad to hear you're staying warm!

The pictures I've seen look like it's a terrible storm out there. Sorry you guys are going through such a tough time, sweetie. Keep warm.

I'm so glad you could check in, and that things are going as well as they are.

*hugs and smooches for you, and for Dana for keeping us updated*

It's good to hear you are doing alright. I hope your power is restored sooner than expected.

Thanks for checking in! Wow, ice storms are really miserable, but not so bad as hurricanes at least! *hugs*

heat = good
hot food & water = good
power out = not so much

but hey! i've been in internet exile (from home) before (though not without power), so I figure to use as much daylight as possible and curl up with a good book or three. I don't wish for it to happen like that here, but having the time to do that sounds loverly.

Okay, that really had nothing to do with your post (as far as I know), but here's hoping the power people get you back online sooner rather than later. *hugs* I'd share some of our warm weather, but I'm enjoying it WAY too much... ;-)

You guys just can't catch a break, can you? I'm glad you're okay and I hope you get your power back soon!

I've been thinking about how this is affecting you. I'm glad to know that you're doing okay. I've been very fortunate in that my power hasn't gone out yet (*crosses fingers*). My yard is full of trees and I've got a lot of fallen limbs, but so far the ones on the roof haven't caused any damage, and they've missed my car completely. I was worried about one tree outside my back door since it kept making these loud creaking noises, but most of the heavy ice has melted off it, and it's still standing so maybe I'm going to get off easy this time.
Did you hear about all the help coming from electric companies around the country? Hopefully, you'll be one of the lucky ones who gets their power back on quickly. I'll be praying for you up there.

I'm glad that you are safe and have the gas available. The news says that crews are coming from around the country to help restore power - - much like they did for us when it happened here last year. Hopefully you won't have to wait *too* long.

Sending warm thoughts.
