February 11th (flurries late evening)
Last night ended with another power outage. I didn't sleep well even though it did come back on just before midnight. Took Macey for a walk this am, and my feet slipped and I fell while trying to maneuver around a tree branch that came down earlier this winter and was iced in place.
Finger is swollen so I skipped stitching today. We are allowed 4 days off this month.
This is Pass Day #1.
