Polar Vortex Stories - What did you do?
Here in Toledo, OH - many places shut down on Wednesday and Thursday. Some places will continue to be closed on Friday. No mail delivery on Wednesday and Thursday. At my new job (small candy store), the manager said the store would open at noon, and gave me the option of taking the day off - she didn't think there would be much business anyway. Yes, I stayed home and tackled some housework - stacks of stuff to sort through and organize. We've been using some kerosene heaters to help our old radiator system with heating the house (built in 1906) - don't want the pipes to freeze, of course! So far, so good. Also, we have quite a collection of working antique lamps, and some of those were lit at times to help with the warmth.
It was interesting to read on FB how some parents were dealing with spending time at home with their children. Were you affected? What did you do?
