The ‘bake off’ is off


I am kind of relieved, I am in no mood to entertain. This fever is really draining me, not to mention the let downs of today and feeling “snowed in”. I do have to be thankful we have power.

When we lived in Spokane in 1996 we lost power in an ice storm for over a week. No electricity, no heat, no firewood (it all sold out super fast) and no way to cook our food. The streets were all closed, and because we lived on a hill, cars and buses could not get up the incline. We did have a fireplace, so we burned furniture. My parent’s house had electricity, but they were in Hawaii and I did not have a key. After 48 hours without electricity we went to our roommates grandmother’s house until the power came back. Not long after that we ended up moving to a new house with the roommate, stressful situations like a power outage can bring out the worst in people and we could not stand our other roommate anymore (confused? It was Bobby and I, Bobby’s friend K, and two brothers M, and M living in a four bedroom apartment; the roommate we had a problem with was one of the M’s. The one we moved with was roommate K).

Anyways, even though I am stuck at home, it sure could be worse!
