Literally, as I went to post my previous entry, the power went down. And stayed down…for 6 1/2 hours!
Thank goodness for generators. Heat is a good thing. Oh, and so are malls which have large generators, and will cook you food. (Biaggi’s, the new Italian place at the mall, is fantastic!)
The power (and the internet) is back now, but it was fun, figuring out how exactly to make hot water without a stove or a microwave, but with power to several outlets. (The answer is to use the coffee pot. Mmmm. Cocoa.)
An added bonus: all the winds this morning blew the leaves clear into the next county, I think. At least, they’re all out of our yard…including the huge pile we had raked over to the street for the town to collect.
Small sad note: the roads are too icky to try and drive to Sit & Knit. Guess I’ll just have to sit at home and knit. Not nearly as social, but productive. That is, if I ever put down the computer and get back to knitting!
I will take some of your cold weather. Down here in Texas it’s still pretty warm. My apartment is like a sauna. I guess the people below me are always cooking, drying clothes, or whatever it is they do to make it so hot up here. When the last cold front came in, I sat around in shorts because it was still hot.
