I’m trying to calm myself from a bit of catastrophizing.

As most of you probably know, my entire state is really fucking cold right now. What you may not have heard is that one of our regional suppliers of natural gas had a fire today. It destroyed one plant and took two others offline for 2-4 days. I’m assuming that the risk of them catching fire is sufficient that putting flammable gas through them is likely to lead to a bigger fire with more long term damage.

I got a loud emergency alert on my phone instructing is not to set our thermostat higher than 65F and to go down to 60F if possible. Part of my brain is now gibbering about how many people will could die.

Just writing it down is helping. I think I can sleep now.

Cordelia has two friends over right now.

I called the cleaning lady and left a message asking her not to come today because she walks and it's not safe, but I don't know if she got it. I know the condo complex where she lives, but I don't know her address within it, so driving over to check on her isn't an option.

TimeMachine decided last night that my laptop needed a complete, from scratch, backup. That's been running 13 hours now. The progress bar currently says that finishing will take another 4 hours. We'll see. If I open more programs on my laptop (I shut them all down overnight), the backup will slow down. I had the option of delaying the backup to that mythical 'more convenient time,' but I thought that putting it off would encourage me to keep putting it off. There's unlikely to be a time when having my laptop backing up for 20-30 hours will be convenient.
