Well, last week was interesting, if not annoying. We had our first real Artic
Blast here in mostly warm Texas, the first part took out our power on Wednesday.
without any prior notice, of any kind and poof, the first outage lasted for an 1 hour and
20 minutes, on a cold day folks that's really hard, the Second power outage
lasted for 45 minutes, the third lasted for 35 minutes after
which I quickly heated up some soup for lunch, fed the cats and did
what I could to prepared and sure enough our power went out a fourth time.
After that we had minor power outages and I might go after the power company so that they replace my UPS
(uninterupted Power Supply/ not the mail service) as if I could've prepared for the outages
I would've done a good close down on my computer and not a hard one. (Lucky computer is safe). I'm still
mad about this in this day and age and they knew the night before hand that power would be cut...So
heck yeah I'm mad and they should offer up compensation to everyone. an another hard freeze with possible ice
is due to hit again on Thursday, y'all the folks here in Texas are craze when driving on ice, they either
speed up or slam on brakes, how dumb is that... crazy so my pain is up, got some threads at
a store on sale yesterday for my cross-stitch but I still need to get linen banding, need to find 24 count natural linen
band on sale....as I need 1 yard of it. I hope someone puts linen banding on sale soon...
Everyone have a good warm week....healing hugz...(
