Ice storm

My emotions are quite flat today.
Thank God my electricity was restored at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.
My mom and her cat have moved in until power is restored in Madbury.
Jake will most likely be coming back here, as his dad's place still has no power and may not for some time.
Sirens.
Lots of sirens.
That's what I am hearing right now.
Ambulances.
Fire trucks.
This storm has been a scary experienced and when I hear the sirens I fear someone is hurt or worse.
Dan just called. Jenn's dad got his power back so now Dan and Jenn are using his generator. This is good news.
I think I'll take a hot shower and try to do some cleaning around here.
My mom and I went to dinner last night and afterwards had to think.....is the food fresh or has it also been sitting in their not so cold refrigerator for 36+ hours? Needless to say we both ended up sick.
Ok - my hands are swollen and I feel like crap. But I thank God I have power and that my family and friends are safe.
