I am very happy to see all the posts, and that everyone has actually been working hard learning, planning, thinking.

I agree with everything said - and would recommend reading

Where I live we are in a very strange weather situation - snow every day for the next week - this never happens. Snow, wind, cold. Good chance of power outages - my least favorite because no heat, but it could be the opportunity to test-run the new butane burner for hot food/drink. If I disappear, just know it wasn't willingly!

Cancelled doctor's appointment because it's snowing and I am uninterested in driving 35 miles on a highway with no side barriers and, if the tide is in, water on both sides for part of it. Luckily last night I found Amoxicillin in the cupboard and began taking it, as that is what is prescribed for strep. Spoke with the doctor a few minutes ago for specific directions for this illness, so I am set to stay home and get well. No chance to go to a health food store for something else someone recommended.

Fortunately, I like staying home, and had an inkling this weather was coming so shopping is done and everything we need is already here, including those wonderful blueberry muffins from CostCo!

Hoping everyone is staying warm and safe.

Ran into this video last night - haven't watched it yet but this might be a good day for it.
