someplace said:Thank you! We're hunkered in now. I made one trip out to my ex-husband's shop. He gave me four packages of dry ice, a couple pounds of British sausages, a pound of British butter (I didn't know I was out, and there's a high chance it'll go bad at his place), a bottle of lucozade and Orange barley water plus about a dozen Cadbury candy bars. (Hey! Chocolate is an emergency supply you know!) In return, I helped him move stock from the lower shelves up higher in case of flooding.
I've now got one block of dry ice in the freezer, the refrigerator, and each of my two igloo coolers. I've positioned the cars as best I could: one on the street and one angled in very close to the house. I covered the picture window in the dining room and drew the blinds. I'm thinking about dragging an old box springs from the garage to lean against the sliding glass doors in the kitchen -- that's the only thing big enough to cover that window.
I chopped up tomatoes, green peppers and onions this morning -- putting each one in a zip loc bag and then in the fridge to minimize clean up when the power goes out. I'm going to do some baking in a bit -- cookies and muffins -- get as much cooked beforehand. And I've got to dig out the cards and games to a convenient place, because lord knows when this power goes out there isn't going to be much to do.
I'll keep cleaning as long as there's power. I've got another load to run in the dishwasher. I've been cooking all morning and putting stuff in tupperware in the fridge, so of course, my sink's full of pots and pans.
