either way, I think I need muscle relaxers now!
I don’t care either way, I’m just glad you are showing me some attention, sometimes I feel that you lost that loving feeling. 😉

Yea, I have the tiniest little bit of ice left, but no snow. Lost power for a couple hours but got it back now. Gotta reset all my lights, because I unplugged em as my lights, in addition to everything else in my house, is a touch much for my generator... but im just glad I got home within 30mins of losing power! You guys lose power down there?

No. Didn’t lose power. Blinked once. Was really windy at 2pm. This was the most.
