I was sure hoping it could get the house warmed up enough to tolerate before we lost power but then about an hour later, ERCOT rescinded that emergency power message, saying they had generated more power and we were out of the emergency but still conserve, keep the thermostat set at 68, etc. Tibbe got up, ate, went potty outside and went back to bed, where he still is!

Everybody up north and northeast of here in the dangerous weather, please stay safe and keep yourself and your babies warm. It's scary cold in some places and I'm praying you all stay safe.

No warning with our electric, its bad enough that the gas co. has put limits on our use. Good thing you are doing well in your parts !
