We lost power yesterday afternoon at about 3:00. It was out for just over 24 hours.
Do you have any idea how cold it can get in 24 hours, with no heat? Yikes! Sleeping last night wasn’t so bad, because Harriet stayed tucked under the covers with me, and she’s a very good hot water bottle. Getting up this morning was kind of awful, though. I was actually looking forward to going to work, where it would be warm, but the university was closed until noon. Hrmf! Come to find out, the library was actually partially open, and I could have gone in and hung out in the cafeteria. Because in addition to no heat, there was no cooking.
Thankfully, power came back on at about 4pm, or Miss Brown and I would have had to stay in a hotel tonight. It’s still c-c-c-cold in here, even though the heat’s been on for a couple of hours. I’m not sure I’ll ever warm back up again.
This morning and afternoon, I decided to go out and take pictures. It was gorgeous outside, with all the trees and shrubs looking like crystal-encrusted chandeliers. I figured, since it was as cold outside as inside, I may as well have something to show for freezing my ever-loving butt off.
