Cassie's Journal - December 28, 2015



The snow storm that was the best guess for the forecasters was more of an ice storm with a lot of freezing rain for us here in Witch Falls; and we’re especially grateful for the new power system and Solar-Wind farm because we didn’t lose power at all in town.  I can’t say the same for all of the farms around us, since there are some power lines down out in the country; but every farmhouse around here is equipped to handle the occasional power outage – just as we still are at our house.

We’ve had snow too, but the freezing rain has made a real mess of that snow; and we’ve been busy dealing with that mess as much as possible.  Michael’s had the day off, and so has Rebecca; but Miranda and Jacob worked at the Inn today and left their kids to deal with the work around the house.  I was doing that too, but Michael and I also had a fair bit of both indoor and outdoor play time with Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden around the work – and around the blasts of lousy weather for the outdoor play time.

Once the worst of the freezing rain and snow hit us; we were only outdoors when we could work on the driveway and sidewalks – and that involved salting, shoveling, and scraping as needed.  I also helped Mom out around the house with the ongoing post-holiday chores; did some work on my computer; and helped with cooking two meals.  Dad worked in the office most of the day despite the weather; and the busiest workers in our family were the doctors and nurse.  That was because of the ice and snow; and they had quite a few injuries to deal with at the med center today.  I heard about some of those stories while helping out at Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s house with a round of salting that Michael and I did at a handful of houses on our street; and I’ll admit that it might have been fun to help out with healing some of those injuries – even if that wasn’t really an option today.  Maybe we’ll be able to do that kind of thing openly some day; though I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon.

Michael spent the evening here and we watched a movie in the lounge with Ethan and Ehlana in between outdoor work sessions, but we were both tired out by eleven o’clock when we wrapped up our final blast of driveway and sidewalk clearing fun; so he went home and I came up to my room and got ready for bed.  My bedtime computing was the basic checks and this update only; and now I’m going to crash until morning – and maybe even sleep in.

Okay, that isn’t likely an option; but I’ll let you know how it goes.  The storm has mostly blown over now; but there’s a good chance we’ll still have a mess for most of the day tomorrow.  Now we’ll just have to see whether we’ll be tobogganing tomorrow or skating on the roads and parking lots. ;^)

Sleep is now my top priority, though; so, until next time...

...May the Magi Force be with you!
