People make fun of me for living like a Luddite - no cable, save electricity, garden, compost, use rain barrels... However, I think I was the only one not having a heart attack about the loss of electronics during this hurricane. We lost power twice and the only thing that bothered me was that without heat, we couldn't be the warm house to go to.
This was an incredibly bad storm. We slept in the living room and closed all the bedroom doors for fear that the windows would blow out. But nearly a week later, we are a part of the small group with power. We lost a whole week of school. Things are really bad.
I am bringing hot chocolate powder and tea bags to offer hot drinks to kids who still have no power. There is gasoline rationing. And my local leadership dropped the ball on this one. Completely.
Such a range of emotions this past week regarding feeling bad for some people and very angry with others.
At least we have Millie to keep things up!
