I was awake at 2:30 this morning, with no hope of going back to sleep. Worse, the TV remote wouldn't work and I don't know what to do to fix it! I was stuck with watching the Discovery Health channel, which is way too interesting to bore me back to Slumberland. Thus, I started the day with a sleep deficit and haven't been able to make it up.
When I went out to the patio in the wee hours, it was actually warm. After dawn, the winds came up and the temps went down. It has been absolutely brutal outside today! We have had snow squalls and snow flurries, but no accumulation...yet. Noonish, I decided to make a pot of chili. I ate three bowls and stored three refrigerator containers with leftovers. I guess I will get to eat for a couple more days!
Also noonish today, the power blinked, then went out. When it didn't come back on in a minute or two, I went to the car to retrieve my cell phone in order to call in the outage. (The only phones in the house are cordless. Power goes out; so do phones. Need to fix that!) Found my hand-held radio to keep in touch with the outside world. It seems that the outage was pretty widespread in Plainfield, and everyone's power came back on at the same time...about 15 minutes later. It has stayed on, thankyouverymuch. The winds are supposed to die down below "advisory" levels after 1:00 AM. We'll see. We have had wind gusts up to 60 MPH today.
I still don't know if I am having weekend company or not. Meg made noises like she and the kids would be here, but I have had no definitive answers. I would like a little planning time. Just don't know what to count on. It's not very fair!
I haven't accomplished much around the house today, slug that I am. Maybe tomorrow??
