I put the frozen foods in a cooler filled with snow out on the deck, but that didn't work out. The snow didn't melt, but the food partially thawed. And even though we weren't opening and closing the fridge, nothing stayed cold, and some things weren't even cool. The milk turned sour. That's just two days without power...

And we are supposed to get our "third Nor'easter in two weeks" beginning tonight. The snow totals keep changing, but right now, according to the Weather Channel app (which is lousy), we are supposed to get high winds and gusts and 1-3" overnight and 5-8" tomorrow. Last night the local news was forecasting a bigger storm with bigger snow totals tho. We shall see. All I know is I will lose my s*** if we lose power again.

I have to get an oil change because when I went out to buy groceries Saturday, some warning bells went off in the car, but there was no warning icon on my user control panel- probably because of the way Corey installed the stereo (if you bypass OnStar that can happen). I looked at some things that I can see on my own and it looks like I need coolant, so I'll get an oil change today. I hope that's all it is.

Then it's off to the dispensary to buy more medical MJ. I don't know if I'm brave enough to try anything new this time. The stuff I bought the first time worked out well. There are actually product reviews... maybe I will read some before going.

I looked for crock pots/slow cookers for hours yesterday. I wanted the same one I had, or something similar, but couldn't find anything that came close until I searched for it on Google. It's actually a roaster that you can slow cook in. My Grandmother bought me the old one almost 15 years ago when Corey and I moved in together. It was white, and my step mother borrowed it, and returned it stained with baked on spaghetti sauce. I bought the silver one this time:
