What a day today has been! When the ice melted enough for me to leave the house, I had a zillion (well, almost) errands to run. The very first one...to the bank...I did get there, but my car wouldn't start for me to leave.

A very accommodating building contractor jumped the battery for me...so I went by AutoZone and bought a NEW battery so I could finish my errands and not have the same problem again.

There, the clerk put it in for me...thank goodness, for I don't "do" batteries. LOL.

After I finished errand running, I came home, started up the washing machine, and .....the electricity went OFF. 2 days of ice and I had electricity, but when the sun is shining and the ice has melted, CM loses her electricity. Go figure.

Well, it's back on now, and I can fire up the computer.....My next address would have been The Home if it hadn't been restored!

Save me a space at "The Home", I'm right behind you.

And now, I'm leaving to take my oldest gd shopping. She is 8 and has more stamina than I do, but I'm carrying the plastic so I feel certain she'll wait for me.

Well, at least your sense of humor is still charged.

Sorry to hear you had all that happen in one day.
