Hey, at least the power is back on, finally. How dangerous, though- why not just fix it right? Sigh. I know- it could [Read more…]
I’m Back! #HurricaneSandy
November 12, 2012 by 4 Comments
Thank you for being patient with me- we are back. Still some insurance and things to deal with, but heat and power are back on, and we were not as bad off as many. My heart and prayers go to all those affected. Seeing beloved places and spaces destroyed, as well as so many homes…it’s just amazing [Read more…]

November 2, 2012 by Leave a Comment
First- sorry for my crazy yesterday. This is really getting to me. I know it could be worse, but sometimes it just really gets on you, know what I mean? PSE&G, supposedly prepared according to the many press releases and interviews they did up to the storm- now say they are extending state power turn on dates and that power will not be back for the state until Nov. 9th.
Nothing new to report. No power for us, still just the few houses in the town without. No heat- and it has gone below freezing. You can see your breath, [Read more…]
Hurricane Sandy Update

We are still with no power, heat, hot water, phones, etc. There are only 4 houses in the whole town that are in the same boat as we are. 4 total. It really stinks (insert colorful word here) to look out and see everyone have power but you and 3 others. PSE&G? Don’t seem to care, since there are just 4 houses, and in fact said so. Even though the wire was sparking, and it is a cross the street from the school that opened today, and the kids and parents use our street to turn around to go home in since it is super convenient….yes, school is open since everyone else has power.
The OEM- emergency management- closed down 2 days ago when the whole town’s power was restored. Well, almost everyone. No one seems worries about 4 dark, cold houses. In one house is an over 80 year old couple. Our [Read more…]
Hurricane Sandy and I
October 31, 2012 by 4 Comments
As many of you know, we are (were?) in the path of the franken-storm. I want to thank you all for your prayers and love and support. We are currently one of the only 4 houses in our town without heat, power, internet, etc- and PSE&G says “by monday” – yes, 9 days in total, and 6 from today- and that is all the info we have. They say since there are only 4 homes, they don’t consider us a priority. Getting around is difficult, [Read more…]
Major Hurricane on the Way for the NorthEast and East Coast
October 25, 2012 by 1 Comment
This is more of an FYI post- I will be off today getting ready, just in case, as we were wreaked in the last hurricane.
Hurricane Sandy’s rampage through the Caribbean today is only the beginning: Forecasters say the storm could morph into a monstrous nor’easter and slam the U.S. East Coast next week — or it could miss us entirely.
If it hits the Northeast the day before Halloween, as one computer [Read more…]
