Yep, count your blessings while muttering under your breath...Anne...say another prayer or two and cuddle under that electric blanket with fleeced PJs. Your situation is temporary and its not in a storm shelter. My GM raised us two kids up into that environment when she was over 45 and we mere babies...no relief for her, but things will get back to normal there soon. Remember there are families that choose to live without electrical hook ups in their homes year around. As long as family is OK and healthy, you are blessed.
