Cleaned up outside- picked up chair cushions, blowy things, and stuff that could be a trip hazard if it's hidden under snow. Put up curtains to reduce drafts. Bought some breakfast food and soup ingredients. This house was without power for 4 days in 2021 so i picked up a generator from Facebook marketplace. I was hoping it would run the pool pump if needed, but it won't. Got gas and tested the generator with two space heaters- all good. Made plans with my pool girl to drain the equipment if power goes out. Downloaded a power outage alarm for my phone. Let my friends know that we would pick them (and their animals) up if needed. Today i need to find the water key just in case. Currently snuggled up and working on a movie list. It's just starting to get cold in Dallas- 24 degrees and slowly dropping throughout the day with light snow. Our biggest fears here are freezing rain on power lines and a grid that's controlled by greedy assholes.
