Checking in to see how other FReepers are doing.

Everytime I check this thread to see the same, the power seems to go off.

I am burning rubbing alcohol in a gel fuel fireplace, and have my gas oven (big no no, yeah, )on to try to keep it above 53 degrees in my house. I am losing that battle. The downside of pier and beam from the late 40's, I guess.

I've closed off some rooms, but may need to close off more.

Goodness. Please be careful. See the tricks I mentioned up-thread about heated rocks and Icy Hot.

Anytime the power goes out I’m reminded of how much we depend on it for almost everything. We lead charmed lives most of the time, don’t we? I really feel for the utility workers that are out there in this cold fixing outages. And I’ve been worrying about the animals....
