A tad worried
An ice storm is on the way. I love winter. I love snow. I'm pretty sure no one loves ice. I love the way it looks on the trees, I want to go to an ice hotel but that's about where it ends.
My worries stem more from my experience in the last major ice storm where I was without power for 6 days and my well meaning but not entirely bright landlord brought me a space heater, assuring me it was safe. Had I not cracked a window I wouldn't be alive now.
That's my thought for house hunting. does it have a fire place? I wouldn't worry if I had a fire place. I'd burn the house down I'd feel much safer with one.
I do have stuff to grade and countless books. I could stay in bed for a day or two provided it doesn't get too cold since there is you know, NO heat in my place if I lose power.
I DID find the lighter (under the futon), going out drinking in a bit (because I'm only a TAD worried) when I get home I'll get the candles in place and dig out the heavy sheets. Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll pass over me. I'd like to be able to go to Jackson tomorrow...
