And we have now crossed the four day mark! As of half an hour ago, we've now gone over four full days without power. The temperature inside the house is down to 47 at the moment (actually up a degree from this afternoon!), although that may drop overnight. I was playing with the flashlight and giggling at the fact that I could see my own breath

Dude. WTF? That would drive me crazy. Whatever it is inside it has to be the opposite outside. It can't be cold inside and outside. That would confuse my brain D:

Keep warm! Pee a lot for warmth!

[xfkirsten]

It's almost warmer when I walk outside, because at least outside there's sun sometimes to warm it up a bit. It just feels WEIRD. :P

Wouldn't peeing only keep me warm if I peed on myself? :P

I'm just glad that I've got most of my own shopping done! :P Only one or two more things left to buy.

I get cold just reading about your house. My house has gotten down in the 50's a couple times, and can't imagine lower. I'd be burning furniture. *LOL*

LOL! Someone on the radio was laughing about doing that. Back in the mid-90s, we had a big snowstorm/icestorm that knocked out power for four days. It got down to about 40 inside the house that time, since it was so cold outside. In fact, the same friends I'm staying with now are the ones that gave us a home that time, too!

I get cold just reading your entries...

You have a grocery store in the mall??

[xfkirsten]

It's a nice and toasty 41 at least outside now! :P

Surprisingly, yes! :P It's a big ol' QFC, right on the end.

Reminds me of the ice storm we had here in Iowa in 93. Although I don't think we had to go quite as long without electricity. But it was longer than we had before. My sister tells me we had a flood the same year and that knocked out electricity and the water treatment place was contaminated so we went without running water for awhile.

It's funny - you never notice how essential electricity is these days until you have to go without it! I have no idea how the pioneers managed it - I'm surprised they didn't all freeze to death. :P We're lucky we have no water problems (besides the fact that it's icy cold) although some people who are using a well had no electricity to pump it.
