Not as weird as I thought...
Dec. 20th, 2022 12:21 am* I went and got a second heater tonight for the upcoming cold snap, so if the power goes out I'll be starting out with the place toasty. I ordered a Lyft to go buy it. I told him that I was preparing for the coming week and he was like 'the cold snap? Yeah I pulled out extra heaters' and then I was said "Guess what I am off to buy?"
It's not going to be as bad here as other places, just 10 or 12 degrees, but with the state of our energy grid we might lose power, and maybe for several days. If that happens, I want to start out with the place toasty.
I can take serious cold. I went through upstate NY winters with no heat, and the house I grew up in was, uh... there's a lot to unpack there. Anyway, I made a resolution before this winter started that I'm going to be a wimp about the cold. I am not going to just tank it.
I still need to pick up a candle just in case we do lose power for a while.
* Tesla stock is in a big sell off, Fortnight has been fined half a billion for invading kids' privacy and other stuff is happening. There are some things I both do want to post about but also, don't want my posts to be mostly that.
* Masking has sharply increased here this past week and the changing rooms were closed at Freddies, so I bought a shirt that may be a little tight on me... and oh fuck the inventory control tag is still on it sunnuva....

Kitchen shears and bloody-mindedness have defeated the inventory control tag
