Tuesday
Power went out this morning at 8. I thought it was one of the rolling blackouts, but nope, just a regular old power failure. Things didn't come back on until a bit after 11, by which point my place was 47F. Nippy! Thank goodness I have a down comforter and was warm and cozy in bed when things shut down so was able to hold in that heat. My feet were starting to chill by the time things came on, but mostly I was okay. If a bit bored (I was afraid to wear down my phone battery since I had no way to recharge it) and pining for tea.
I think we got maybe four? five?ish? inches of snow. Not terrible compared to some, certainly nothing out of the usual for this part of the country. Still unusually cold, though. I think we're currently sitting at today's expected high of 10F. Today's the first sunny day since...Friday? maybe? and the snow seemed to have stopped falling for at least a while so I got out the shovel.the_lucky_nun was headed over to help and I had finished clearing a path through my patio when my neighbor with the baby tractor headed across the street and did my drive! (also my landlord's, bless him)
The few minutes I actually did some activity felt so good, though, and I'm a little adrenaline-high from it. Keeping careful stock of my energy levels to see if they plummet and if they do, how long it takes. If I crash within 60 minutes that's pretty indicative of adrenal fatigue.
My brain feels wonderfully alert at the moment. It's such a good thing to be reminded of how that feels. It's been a long time. Let's see about getting some writing done before Tech Friend picks up my laptop tomorrow morning. She's gonna try to determine if there's anything to be done about this non-functioning microphone issue.
ETA: Welp, there's the fatigue, right on schedule at 40 minutes and some change. FUCK.

REALLY hope there won't be any more power outages! Having those when it's freezing outside is extremely suboptimal.
Fingers crossed for things working out with your laptop.

Stupid, stupid fatigue.

It's possible to bypass the microphone with a special USB dongle and an external mike or headset (if you have these things lying around, like I do, because I had the same problem two computers ago).
But it sounds like your computer has way bigger problems. WARRANTY.
