At least our power is still on after being out for a few hours today. DH drove all the way to Seattle only to find out he did NOT have to work today. So much for me telling him 5 times, "why don't you call before you drive all the way there?". Even though I had lost our land line, I did still have some power left on the cell phone. But he didn't have the right number to call. Who doesn't have a number to call to find out if you're working or not? Obviously my DH. So after he drives to Seattle and back, he arrives home, throws himself halfway up the stairs and gasping, (he has a rare type of emphysema that he gets weekly infusions for) he tells me he can't make it up the hill to our cul-de-sac and doesn't want to leave the Prius where it is because someone will crash into it or break into it. So we have to hike down the hill, drive to my parent's house 10 minutes away to leave our car in a "safe place" and have my Dad bring us home in their 4 wheel drive Highlander. Now my Dad will have to come back in the morning to get DH since my car still isn't working...
The free preview of our show at Tacoma Little Theatre was cancelled tonight, because of inclement weather and also because I had no transportation to the theater and no one was willing or able to come all the way here to get me. I'll have to go in early tomorrow afternoon where we'll have another quick rehearsal because as of 7:30 PM tomorrow evening we WILL be going on with a live audience.
I am typically a passive person, but I'm telling you - all the folks I've seen on Facebook who had been saying, "Oh I love the snow, let it snow, let it snow, it's a Winter Wonderland" - I kind of want to punch those people in the face. I'll get over it eventually.
All of you take care - stay as warm and safe as you can. This can't last forever - but it sure is a grump while it's here.
