the_rckCordelia's back at school today. There's a multi-school choir competition this evening, and she's volunteering for it so as not to have to buy a ticket to attend. She'll be staying for that rather than coming home and then trying to get back to the school by 5:00. I packed her extra food so she'll have dinner if they don't feed her.
Scott is back at work. He has no idea what sort of production problems they ran into while he was gone. They weren't supposed to call him about anything while he was off, and they didn't. A lot of Michigan factories and businesses closed down when the power companies started publicly asking people to, so Scott's plant might have shut down for a while.
MLive's article says that those calls brought power consumption down by 10% and that the companies didn't need to cut gas or electricity for anybody due to shortages. (It is, I think, currently illegal for them to cut off power for non-payment. I don't think that lasts past the end of the state-of-emergency for personal use, but the DNR has opened up public lands for gathering firewood. I don't suspect that that will help people in cities any, but maybe it will help some people.)
I'm achy-- feet, ankles, knees, and hips. I'm hoping that will ease once I get moving, but it might not. I'll be heading downtown for an appointment soon. Apart from that, I have three goals today-- polish the fic that reveals tomorrow, load and run the dishwasher (more than once if needed), and run two loads of laundry.
I'm a little frustrated-- The library ordered v.3 and v.4 of Goldie Vance at the same time. I got in first on the waitlist for both. I have v.4 in my hands. V.3 is still 'on order,' and I can't tell from the record when they expect it to arrive. I'd really rather read v.3 first.
