Brr 2: Electric Boogaloo

[railenthe]

 We've spent the better part of the day with no water.

 

The weather has been absurd, with freezes wrecking the water main. It took until about nine in the evening before we had water again, and that water is under a boil order, meaning that...well, you're just ADVISED to boil it before you use it for anything.

 

Which is why I'm boiling water for the cats to drink.

 

The door is janky because of the cold, too: my key isn't working and the door just WON'T LATCH.

 

I mean, I count myself lucky that we have winter weather infrastructure, unlike some states. Just look at how badly things are going in Texas right now. It's a mess. People freezing to death in their houses and shit while the cities, full of empty skyscrapers, are getting plenty of electricity, water, and heat.

 

In a way, we're lucky up here. We're equipped for this, even if we weren't quite prepared.

The deep freeze beggars belief in terms of the havoc it's been able to wreak. Thank goodness you have some water even if it has to be boiled. (No Tschaikovsky route for the kitties at least.)

Why does 2021 have to try to one up 2020 in suck?

I mean on the upside, we're getting set to undo the shitstorm that was Trump, and RUSH LIMBAUGH IS DEAD, so I takes my victories where I can get them.

And the vaccine is getting out there. I mean, we REALLY should have done much better than this, but it's something.

And on the personal front?

I might just got a boyfriend. :O
