Like Gilligan's Island

OK. We are sitting here with no power, no heat, and nothing to do. All we want is electricity. And a football game.

We just realized that there is a tree bent over onto our wires to our house. We called the power company and asked if they knew about when they would be coming through our area. They just said, "We'll get to it as soon as we can." I know these guys are working hard--there just isn't enough of them.

I put the ice cream out in the snow so it would stay relatively frozen. Then Rowdy came and shoveled us out so we could open our front door. I spent about an hour outside shoveling, and now Matt is shoveling and trying to get his pickup moved.

We have lots of broken branches, like so many people. I went through this stuff in April, when we had no power for 4 days, and cleanup for a month. I don't want to do it again!

I was hoping the cafe or the grocery store or somewhere would be open so I could get out of here for a while. But I guess we're safe and sound here. I'm not getting much work done, since my computer is on battery power and my hotspot too. If one or the other dies, then that's the end of my work!

We will survive!
