State of the Winterscape

The internet died last night and did not return until around six this evening. There are rolling blackouts. The gas company keeps ending emails and telling people to conserve gas. This is bad. And there will be more snow.

My mother's side of the family suffered a shocking and terrible loss this weekend. I'm still not processing it well. All I can say now is that I hope everyone tends to their emotional and mental health. You deserve that. You need that. It should be a priority.
