I've had a good week, the thrift store was busy but there were too many volunteers working so it was all fine. I didn't work hard or stay long. Work on Thursday was fine, we're doing massive data entry with a collection of older, rare books we have in the Archives. Mostly my assistant will be doing the data entry, I showed her how to do it and she took right off with that.
Today was a busy day for me--walked the bog in the morning with friends then went to Plattsburgh for the pool-ercise class for fat old ladies. I of course fit right in. The class lasts an hour, that's a long time to be bouncing in the crowded shallow end of the pool. I came home and did some clearing, got the snow off the steps and made a good path on the deck.
The big news here is FEAR: they're predicting an ice storm for Saturday night and Sunday. This really scares me, the ice storm we had in '98 was just awful for me. No power for 2 weeks, temps below zero, no water for 3 weeks, pipes froze, dogs got cold, house was miserable. Hopefully this won't be a repeat, warmer temps are predicted at least. Still, it makes me very, very nervous. I have a Coleman lantern for night time and a Coleman cook stove. I have access to my friends' house down the hill, they have a generator so if there's serious trouble for a long time I may be able to go there. I do sound hysterical, don't I. Maybe it won't be that bad but they're predicting 1/2 an inch to an inch of ice. Man that's nasty.
Enough about that! Tomorrow it will rain a lot. Temp right now is 37. I'll decide in the morning if I want to work at the thrift store tomorrow. Right now I'm feeling...not so much.
