Oh, I wish, RC - hope you are better today!
Not normal here at all, had an awful evening and night -
Here, it's -48 w/c, temp is -36.
Last night, the power went out about 5:20 after a friggin frigid day... at that point, the only thing I could think of was thank goodness supper was cooked, because our son was coming over.
He arrived shortly after; he lives on the other side of the city, and as soon as he crossed the bridge he said he saw traffic lights and street/house lights were off, but there were workers/trucks out everywhere.
There were three neighbourhoods affected, but no explanation yet - hopefully will find out today.
So we had supper by candlelight - which was fine, til time was passing and it was getting colder and colder...
Ended up the power was out for just about four hours, the temp in the house at that time was 13.
I cried when it came on, I was so happy!
Then there was the cat thing... Taffy, especially, started acting very, very odd through this. She doesn't meow, but wouldn't stop 'talking' and purring - very weird for her. She did this for hours, and through the night. She never, ever comes on the bed, but she was waiting for me to go to bed, wanted to be under the covers snuggled to my legs and just kept wrapping herself around them. I just could not get to sleep for longer than 20 mins at a time, and she wouldn't leave me alone.
So I ended up just getting out of bed around 2 a.m., so at least my husband could get some sleep.
Gah, such a crazy life!
Hope everyone's day is good!
