Let’s see how long this lasts. TWO major storms/weather crisis, in one week! The Northeast must have done something wrong to anger Mother Nature so much. Last Friday was the start of it and we lost power around 2:30 in the afternoon due to CRAZY winds. We had so much destruction, so many massive old trees fell (crushing our wires and everything else). No power, no wifi, no running water, no heat. Luckily we were able to take up shop somewhere else for the week, but then we had a crazy snow storm on Wednesday. Heavy, heavy snow, taking out the (Comcast/wifi) yet again and snowing us in. We never got back on our feet from the first storm and had to deal with another one, delaying any fixes to the electricity and cable networks. So…when can I move back home?
There is something about the months of February and March that always brings the worst events of the year. Life, health, weather, etc. That’s why I hate them so much, haha! I really just want a normal week again (remember the furnace?). So many things have gotten put on the back-burner and have not been able to get done now for the last 2 months. I really think it’s time to move…what state, country for that matter, is doing “okay”? Any?
As you can guess, short Finisher this week. I’m surprised I have anything for you, haha!
