The bad weather is expected to arrive here around 8 p.m. tonight. Rain/sleet/snow, most likely. For the next few days, the roads will be like skating rinks. My fingers are crossed that this won't be a storm that ices the limbs and power lines and causes power outages.
We are as prepared as we can be, I reckon. Yesterday, I made enough soup to last a few days. The Husband's propane heater has arrived. Last night, he came home with six 5-gallon water jugs. (We're going to need a bigger shed to store all this sh*t when this is over.) Son #2 came over yesterday, gathered up our gas cans, and filled them at the convenience store up the road. When he brought them back, he tinkered with the generator and had it running in nothing flat. Let's cross our fingers that we won't have to use it. It is so freaking loud. Son #2 and The Husband say that we can use the truck to power the house. There's a special outlet where we used to charge the camper that will hook to the truck. #2 started to tell me how it works - "You've got A and B, and when B is open -."
I just held up my hand and shook my head. Don't. Just don't. I hope it is something I never need to know.
Whether we lose power or not, I foresee him and The Husband plugging the truck in to the house at some point this weekend. I intend to be at the opposite end of the house when it happens.
If they can't devise enough power to charge up my laptop, I will go apeshit.
This morning, I have been pouring resin into jewelry pendant molds, trying to learn what colorants work, and how they act when mixed. If anything turns out nice, I will try to wrap it with wire to turn it into a pendant.
