Tuesday

     If I hadn't mentioned it, my manager had called me and said if I couldn't make it in to stay home.  Good guy.  Thoughts about the situation.
     Food was a large concern, of course did food shopping on Sunday, or Saturday, don't recollect properly now.  Was a hassel to find ice.  I did have 2 large ice chests.  We were making what would not hold up the longest.  I knew that the contents of fridge and freezer would wind up being tossed. 
     As I said we were only without power.  I'm no technology addict.  My phone is so old it doesn't even have a camera.  I was missing news and internet a little bit.  The house was now about 66 degree's.  It had fallen to 65 during the overnight, 66 by midday.  It would get uncomfortable.  Not to mention being stuck with my family.
     I knew driving around would be a waste, and as reports came in over the radio, I knew a gas shortage would be upon us.  Especially now with every one and their 14th cousin once removed needing gas for generators.  However, we had food and shelter.  I would learn later many others did not.  Bed time was chilly, but under 2 blankets was comfortable enough.  I was a little stir crazy and trying to figure out what to do next.
     Wenesday broke open, chilly and 65.3 in the morning.  I've a little battery operated clock in the kitchen that also can tell the temperature. 
sorry unavoidable must leave you here will continue.
