Post Blizzard Report - Hi PT!

[Freedom]

Well no worries, anyone. I've learned that my sort of gas oven you CAN NOT light it. Now, if I had the sort with a pilot light, yes, those you can light with a match and use for heat.

So, normal routine today, walked the fluffs, went to the Y, ran to the grocery store and came here to the nursing home to see Dad, and now on the computer. Main roads are bare BUT missing lanes, ha haaa. The snow is piled high and fills a lane or two. Side roads are bumpy with ice and snow.

Thanks for all the lovely posts!

I hope all your utilities are back and everything is in working order!

Elyse, everything returned on Wed evening about 6 PM. It was the box outside the house got zapped, tech put on a new one and TA DAH! I wasn't even home at the time. He left a message for me to let me know (my appt was for Friday). So that was all set.

On Fri afternoon I had no heat. Called the furnace co, turns out my thermostat died. It would have been 10 years old on May 2d; they are all circuit boards now! He did not have one in his van with all the features I need -- I have a humidifier and need to be able to control that -- so he put on a temporary one so I've got heat. He planned to return on Sat (yesterday). He phoned me Sat, he was the only one on call and was really busy; wanted to know if I was OK till Mondayl. I am a reasonable person, I have heat so yes I am fine till Monday.
