It's after midnight
Just got home from work a few minutes ago. Took forever to get the car cleaned so I could drive home. We had an rain/ice/snow mix this afternoon into evening so it was an ice skating rink driving home. The wind is howling and there are intermittent power outtages. We lost power for a few minutes at the store tonight. The door to my house was frozen

Can I just say one thing - your miserable last few days have actually made ME feel better ! ( LOL !)
I really don't mean to laugh, but my last couple of weeks have been beyond words and I am currently wallowing in self pity (issues with my mum in the UK that are making all of us hustle to try and get the kids there ASAP) But, compared to what I have just read, I feel I am so much better off !
I only came on to the computer for a moment, to check emails, before calling the hospital in the UK and other assorted folk. I have no idea what is going on in my friends' lives, right now. I'm not sure I know what's going on in mine !
But I continue to admire your fortitude and I TRULY hope that life starts improving, very soon, for you and yours !
Oh, and I had to laugh about your door, too.
A few years ago, before my daughter was married, the same thing happened to us, but from the inside !
The power and phone were out as well, so we couldn't let anyone know what was going on.
So we finally dismantle the window, which was also frozen shut and took out the screen window and my daughter jumped out.
It was April 1st and my daughter, with a 37 1/2 inch inseam jumped about 12 feet and ended up thigh deep in snow !
That tells you what that winter was like ! haha ! still that much snow outside on April 1st. It was like a bad April fool's joke :)
Sending love and hugs and lots of good thoughts from the deep, dark woods.
Nita and the critters.

I am so sorry things are going badly with your Mum. I send you all good thoughts. I hope the kids are able to get there soon. I know you can't help but feel guilty/responsible to be with her but sometimes we just have to let the guilt go. Easier said then done. Hugs you cause I know it is rough.
Spent 20 minutes trying to get my door thawed this morning. Hot water numerous times but it keeps refreezing.
Had such a crap Saturday. Was yelled at over and over from people who refused to take personal responsibility. Finally told a customer that. HaHa. It didn't go well. Then my boss tells me I have to work Sunday instead of my day off. So I was having this great pity party and I stopped off at the drive thru on the way home to get dinner. I was 20 minutes in this huge drive thru line. This guy yells to get my attention so I roll my window down and then he starts cussing me out for not shutting my car off cause my brake lights were too bright. I kid you not. He spent a miserable few minutes cussing everyone out. I was so mad. Anyway now I can laugh about it but I was glad that day was over.
Sending you all healing happy thoughts.
XOXO
