I'm at a PSE&G charging station in town filling my laptop and phone batteries. The street light outside my home came on last night around 4 AM, but not the power to my apartment or the heat. They're working on it, I know. Optimum wifi reaches the station, so I'm using that right now. When I've got my charging done, I'm going to bike over to a few of the stores in town and then hit City Hall and/or the shelter to volunteer with this mess.

The cats are okay. Kamella slept on top of me last night after giving me a horrible scare- she knocked over a glass candle holder in the dark. Fortunately nobody was hurt and I was able to clean up all the pieces and sweep the area, and the candle had been blown out and there was no liquid wax. I may see about getting an alternative when I get the chance today.

Gas still works to my apartment, so I had soup last night and some of the pie I made the other day, and this morning I heated up water for washing myself up. I'll be hoping we get heat back in the apt. tonight so I can wash my hair after I get home, but I'm not optimistic.

I am aware there is a nor'easter heading in our direction. I'm wondering about mooning that storm as well.

Hope all is well with everyone else.

I hope your power comes back SOON. How scary. I'm glad you have some resources for charging. So many of us are sending good thoughts your way.

I was on the phone with someone in my company's UK offices the other day and she asked how I was holding up. "Well," I said, "I live in Hoboken-"

When someone in London sucks their breath through their teeth and says "I'm so sorry" at the name of your town you know there is a problem.

I'm grateful to PSE&G for all they've done so far. I just hope they do my block a little faster, you know?

...would you like company in mooning this new storm?

Waugh. D: I hope you're doing okay.

I'll deal. I have supplies, and the landlord says they have an electrician coming tomorrow to fix the circuit breakers and give our power back, so there's that. Might go out for pizza tonight now that the shops are opening again. Not that I don't want to warm my apartment but it'd be nice not to have to wash up by candlelight.
