We are back online after a couple of days with no phone, internet or TV...

I cannot tell you how deserted I felt. I had lost touch with my community and family!

Everything is restored now at last. This last storm just wreaked havoc even as it didn't turn out to be as bad as it was supposed to be.

But I missed Jeopardy last night and that was a bummer...

I was aching to complain about the latest Trump outrage. I still got the NYT so I could get myself all worked up. No Morning Joe of course so I couldn't yell at the TV. But even Joe is getting pretty scared of what Trump is doing.

we are elderly and he's handicapped and we need to be able to communicate with more than a cell phone. The company said the earliest someone could come to restore these services would be
Thursday! That made him just furious. I'm just grateful we had heat, lights and the refrigerator was OK. I had done a big grocery shopping and was set with food for 3 days.

Well, the big storm never came, what snow we got has largely vanished, and the sun is out today.
