    I didn't go to work assuming it was a national holiday. I got an email telling me I was fired.

    We just got our power back after 48 hours (another snow/ice storm, third in four weeks). I was so pissed off I couldn't write (journal) anything. Besides, I was running between three families' houses with one generator, one kerosene heater, one snowblower. I'll write a bit today. Besides, my mood is about to worsen again cuz another storm is coming tonight....

    Jon, your handwriting is lovely.

    Fred, you're too funny.

    Thanks, Liz, but only the truck and the snowblower were mine. It was a group effort: heat and lunch in one house, showers in another, internet in a third. Mod cons!

    Doesn't matter who owns what - the running around was to help your neighbors / family / friends - that makes you a good person.

    It may not be cursive, but it sure is pretty. Your hand evokes impressions of Art Nouveau in my mind.
