Even those of us who have lived here all of our lives are wishing we had sense enough to leave when we had the chance….as in after college graduation, when we could’ve chosen to move anywhere we felt like….oh, aurrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! JUST got electricity back after being without power since last Friday morning - yes, that’s right! Five days in the dark! No lights, no computer (except when I made it to work - yesterday) no nuffin’…..and then this morning, yet another icy rain storm, but what more damage could it wreak? The wires were all already down, after all!!! By Monday, our whole neighborhood was back on except for about six of us in a little cul de sac who are all apparently hooked into one solitary pole that wasn’t transmitting…good GRIEF!!!!! Well, more later on my dietary habits (a little extreme towards the end of our “dark time”) but right now, it’s a nice long hot bath for THIS chickie….I’m SOOOO sick of going to my daughter’s (she had electricity all along, and she’s five minutes away from us!) for showers, having to pack up all my clean stuff, bring back all my dirty stuff….and mostly forgetting stuff that I needed….ack.

Hello to all, and to all a good night…

Hugs,
