It's been a rough go in Dallas for the past week, which means I've been pretty quiet. If you've caught national news in the States, you may be aware of the extreme temperatures and hard winter week in Texas. It was -8 a couple days ago and it's supposed to be 75 next Wednesday.
We knew cold was coming. We dripped our faucets and stocked our cupboards. I pulled out my snow boots and long underwear. We spent our Valentine's Day watching television without a care in the world.
We spent many hours without power on the coldest days, and the apartment got down to 47 degrees. No power, no internet. We had water, clothing layers, and plenty of food.
Power was fully restored two days ago, which is when the fire suppression pipe above our home office burst and showered a couple rooms with water. My studio was safe, but now my studio is serving as the home office.
Things are crazy, but we're okay. We've been fairly quiet as we've been addressing the snowpocalypse challenges.
Nonetheless, there will be more new nonsense soon. I have a show tomorrow night and have to shift gears from indoor survivalist to showgirl.
