I went to bed last night thinking I'd be out and about with E this morning and have plenty of opportunity to fill some buckets. I woke up in two senses to a mid-April ice-storm. Plans for the day changed and I stayed in my pyjamas until almost dinner. I only put on clothes then because the power was out and I couldn't cook dinner, so I went to buy some.
Anyway, I got the chance to be kind when my neighbour came over to drop something off before she picked up my son from school (it was also a snow day). She mentioned she sent her husband to buy coffee earlier but debit was down, so I asked her if she wanted some money to get one for all of us. In reality, I almost threw a $20 bill at her in my excitement, because without electricity I couldn't boil water for my second coffee and I need a second coffee. And a third. So I bought them coffee (kind of, without a vehicle I couldn't pick them up but I paid for them). I also went out to get dinner for my own family, which was much tastier than sausages and potatoes would have been.
