On Saturday the power at my house went out because of the crazy ice storm that we had.

We were told we would have power back by Christmas Eve but that was a no go. They bumped it to Today and still no power, now they are telling us tomorrow. I'm honestly not holding my breath on that one either.

I know there are alot of people without power due to this crazy storm, and I'm grateful for the people that are out in this weather trying to fix it.

But I am starting to get concerned about our water pipes and other things going wrong. We already have most of our food put in boxes on our patio. The only way to keep warm is with the fireplace insert we have in our living room. Currently my family is all crammed into one little room.

This has also slowed down any potential work I could have gotten done this week. I can't run a shaver or my machine to finish up the commission I was going to deliver this Saturday which really ticks me off. I have some hats done at least, but I had those done before the power outage; it has been the snowfall and ice that has kept me from driving anywhere other than work.

I'm just sick of this already. I can't go anywhere or do anything because my parents tell me that I need to stay and help tend the fire and haul wood and the like (but my sister gets to go out and stay with her boyfriend). The most I have gotten out of this house was to go to my grandparents to get some water,shower, and charge my computer.

I'm not holding out for tomorrow being any better either.
