Taken from my blog:


Wind and ice storm knocked out power around 12:30 AM Saturday morning, and it didn't come back on until 11:30 PM Saturday night (transformer blew a fuse or something). Good thing my parents bought a generator a year or so ago... If they didn't, we may have frozen to death. Everything in the new apartment is run by electricity, so we had no heat, hot water, and couldn't cook. My sister is in the old apartment, and had heat, hot water and could cook because everything is run by propane.


I was starting to go through computer withdrawal... Fortunately my cell phone has internet access, so I could at least send email and text messages... But doing so nearly drained the battery, and I was worried that I would lose contact with the outside world. Well, we do have a couple of "old fashioned" phones, so I could have called people if I really needed to. LOL


I am still cold, and am having trouble getting warm again even with my heater blowing right on me... Of course the low temperature doesn't help... It's somewhere between 8º and 24º F.

>>Wow! Did you grow a beard? That is a long time to sleep!<<


Actually I did... And I just finished pulling it out. LOL
I hadn't slept much since Saturday, so I was very tired.

PERFECT!


Maybe she should just go by Rose, a beautiful name for a beautiful person.


I love it.
