After all the hype, the great ice storm of 2007 seems to have pretty much overlooked southern Kansas City. Northern Kansas City was hit harder, but after all my worry, my power (thankfully!) never went out.
I left work early on Monday to make a mad dash to the pharmacy, bank and grocery store. They were all packed. The grocery store was total chaos. But, I managed to get home with all my drugs, some cash and some staples before the sleet started coming down.
I tend to get a bit skiddish about ice storms. In 2002 we had a horrible ice storm in Kansas City and I didn’t have power for 10 days. The house was so cold that the water in the toilet froze. I stayed in the house for a bit with candles and a loaf of bread, but eventually ended up staying with friends – a different one every night depending on who had power. It was not fun at all.
I haven’t posted mostly because things are just crazy at work right now. But, I did want you all to know I’m okay – and warm!
And I’ll explain this Braille graffiti thing when I get the chance.
