time for a new kit soon

thank you all for such supportive comments on my latest kit. the links have now been removed so it must be time soon for a new kit...i better get working! hehe
we are just getting over the worst winter storm this season, which happened on sunday, the first day of spring. and it wasn't even so much that we had snow, but it was bitter cold and the winds were tremendous, along with some rain. we lost power early afternoon (about 1:30pm) and it didn't come back on for dinner (all electric house), heat or my breathing treatment. we lit quite a few candles and even put one of the cats in the kennel so we would have less chance for mishap. but when it came to the time for my breathing, i needed power! so we remember that a rock hounder (from the rock club) lived close by and off the grid with solar panels, so we called and luckily he was happy to invite us over. i, of course, felt like we were imposing but he could not have been nicer, offering us some warm pizza and time to plug in. but even though driving there was only about 10 minutes tops, it took much longer because there were sand walls of wind!!! it was really awful and then we use the wipers to clean the windshield from sand covering it completely, only to find there was some rain mixed in. and the rain, though it wasn't much all at once, those drops were huge and just slushed up the window! so then we expect they will get the power up the next day and no such luck, till late, only AFTER hubby moved the generator and got the whole thing set up and filled(yes we have one but it was not ready, obviously). it was over 30 hours before they fixed it!! and we weren't going without power ANOTHER night! the very next day, it went out again but for only about a minute! and all this after an upgrade right after the holidays, that was suppose to last no longer than 6 hours without power and turned into over 16 then!! so now, just since we turned the clocks ahead (what? two weeks ago) we have had a MINIMUM of 4 outages!! i think 6 but the guys say they know for sure 4, well, now 5 (since that one minute outage)!! and the topper was that when we got 2miles down our sand road to the blacktop one, there was power ALL AROUND on the other side of that road! UN-freaking-BE-LEE-VA-BULL!
most of the day, i either read or sat and cut some of the stuff i printed out for the card making i am getting into. hubby still wants to continue with the dollhouse making, and me too, but now not only do the drs. have me on a high dose of anti anxiety meds, but now have started me on an anti depressant as well, so today i was like a zombie! didn't get too much done but i wasn't angry or depressed! hehe
hubby got through the outage by getting some of his homework done in the day and our son had most of his hand held games charged up, luckily, so he was quite entertained!
today, i felt so out of it, i could not cut or even read, it is now after 8 pm and i can finally sit up and see enough to type a bit. it's been honestly rough but we shall overcome!! thank you for your continued prayers. HUGS! i will be back soon. have an awesome evening!
