Both my front doors on my car are iced completely shut. I have been going all around the edges clearing the ice away, but the seals are frozen, and I don't want to snap off the door handle by pulling too hard. All the advice I have read online says to use a hairdryer. Um, right. My car is across the street and do you think I own an extension cord that long? Not sure if it will get easier to open because it is not going to warm up past 29 today.
Luckily I have power. The folks across the street totally do not. No one else in my building has tried to leave yet, but if they do, I don't think they'll get too far.
When I called work again to update them, I said I would take a cab if they paid for it. The manager who answered was like, "eh, um, no, no one is really going to shop today." I hope she's right. But people are crazy and they love to do shit like that. I told her I'd keep trying to come in, but honestly, what can I do? Not much.
One more thing. As much as I made fun of all those people who were "stocking up" on Wednesday well, looks like my foot is in my mouth now. I have very little in the way of appetizing food. No good soups or meat or veggies or butter. Some bread, pb and j, tuna, tomato soup, frozen peas and bocas. I'm not starving, but I sure will be bored after lunch!
