Probably not the best solution, but my immediate concern is no power (again)! Sometimes the little things are worse than the big.

I'm trying to hang onto hope that everything will work out. (Just call me PollyAnna.) I retired from my paycheck job in 2008. Remember that year? The economy was in the toilet, housing market had plummeted, gas was over $4/gallon, etc. I had faith that we were in a cycle that would turn around. And it did. Still, these are scary times and I understand your fears. Hang in there.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-47995944436566923012017-01-13T10:32:50.652-05:002017-01-13T10:32:50.652-05:00JL, your brain is ever agile.

As for your reticence about quitting your job, I understand. Every morning when I read the NYT with my husband at Starbucks, the front page articles are so outlandish, I look around at the people in the coffee shop and want to say "Did you read this? Can you freaking believe it?" I feel like I'm reading about another country...Turkmanistan or some 'stan' country. I see fiction...no one can recognize that better than fiction writers. As for me, my sister, who has no March near her in Wisconsin is making a pink hat (pussyhats.com) for me to wear in the San Luis Obispo March. I'm organizing a carpool.
