Field Notes- Saturday, March 4. Snowing. Power Outage. We're Okay.


 How I feel about the Winter Storm.

The power came back on about 5 minutes ago- I hurried to make hot water and have a nice LARGE HOT cup of Tea.  I have an extra down comforter on top of husband- he is taking a nap on his couch.

The Furnace is running.....trying to warm up the house.  A Neighbor thinks Power will be coming and going as the snow starts melting- 40 degrees on the porch thermometer- and getting heavier on the lines. The STATE of MAINE could save tons of money- just by putting the power lines underground.  The newer housing area do have underground power lines.  I wonder if they are then connected to the pole at the end of the street????  

We should move to a Smarter State.   As soon as Winter is over- I am getting a Whole House Generator installed.  I can call now to make an appointment.  I will. Get on the list.  Good Selling Point. 

Husband went to sleep because he was upset the power was off and he would NOT be able to heat up his bowl of Chicken Soup.  I was kinda thinking about my hot dogs.......for my lunch. So I felt his pain.

I have a good book going.  So the Time went fast.  Twins Dad invited us over if we got too cold.  Great but how would we get there?  Sidewalks and road is covered in deep snow.  Neighbor is waiting till morning to clear his driveway.  My husband will want to get right on ours......it's the way he is. It's why I have zero conversations about things that need fixing. He breaks or looses parts to anything he tries to fix.  Why we only go to the store and library one day a week.  Lots of Limits.

I try to limit the trouble he can create.  I am rarely as successful as I try to be.  I was happy he decided to take a nap.  Happy. He is sleeping.  Am I a bad person?  Or just a person who has hit her limit on how much I can take in a day??????  Hot Tea.  Gotta drink it.

He woke up......wants to go out and run the snowblower......what a TOOL.
