Ice Storm & Power Out
Monday January 15th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was also a major Ice storm, power outage day. Around 5am our power started going out and we didn’t get it fully back until 6pm. News says some people still don’t have power so I guess we’re lucky.
Around 9am I got my knitter out and was working away by candle and sun light, by 11 it was getting pretty chilly we’d called at least twice to electric company but they were so over whelmed they weren’t even answering the phones. Around this time my sister called a friend in Canton and found out they still had power. So she gathered up her hubby and daughter to go reside there for the day.
Around 3pm Mom and I decided to go out, Dad iwas having a Gout attack so he didn’t want to come along. We picked up some fire wood and a few groceries from Meijer . Then we had Dinner at Red Robin and ordered a take out meal for Dad.
When we got home the power came on for about 15-20 minutes. When it went out again Mom lit the fire place to warm up the room. About an hour later the power came back on again. I resumed my knitting.
A few hour later my sis and her fam returned and resumed there places on there computers. Except my sis internet was some how not functioning, even though I think rest of ours had been restored. I wasn’t on my computer much I was finishing up the scarf I was amazed that I could whip one out in 2 days.
But this Tuesday morning when I tried to start on the next one for Rob’s other niece I realized I had over done it. My hands are all stiff, cramped, sore and arthritic today. So I only just started the 2nd one and had to quit. But I am really sore in all my joints today it probably has to do with the frigid weather and I have not been taking my pain meds on regular schedule. I was trying to see if I really needed then. ( Yes I do.) I just don’t like having to rely on these pain medication. After missing 2 days I’m in so much pain I can’t function, hurts to stand, sit or lie down. Between the sleep apnea and pain I’ve not slept much at all in the last few days, so I need to keep taking them.
