At this moment really have no idea what the dates are right now, I only know that it started Thursday night into Friday morning. I am sure you have all heard about the ice storm in new england, well I am in it. I thought it was interesting that the local paper's head lines read "The night we became powerless", so so so true. All day Friday I had no heat, no lights, one convenience store with gasoline in the whole town with a line a mile long, no hot water, I had about 3 feet of water in my basement. Saturday, I was blessed to receive a generator and was able to pump the water out, and by 8 p.m., I was able to heat water up (found a propane camping stove) so that my daughter and I could wash up, the furnance was on and the water was gone from my basement. I was also able to watch a movie as I have just enough juice to run power in the living room. Now, I am sitting in my friends house, who has power, drinking a hot cup a coffee and i had a hot shower…..SOOOOOOO much better than sex by the way!!!! I am going home after my second daughter showers, going to watch a movie, and I am going to again thank God for this amazing day. See, even though this seems like such a tragedy, I have loved every minute. It has brought me closer to my kids, made us use all of our resources, made everyone pull together….and i am totally filled with gratefullness (could have been so much worse) that this lesson of powerlessness has been given to us. I was able to spend more time with my kids, play games, visit friends, NOT WORK, and SLOW down….I could not change the situation, therefore i made the best of it, i have been grateful for every little thing that we do have, and i have found complete peace in this whole tragedy. And I have been completely sober! Love you all
