On Friday night our power shut off around 10pm, we slept through the night as our house slowly lost heat and tried to stay warm under heaps of blankets. Saturday morning the power was still out and it was freezing in our house. We stayed in bed until it was time for Kyle to go to work and for me to meet up with some friends for brunch. During brunch my Dad called me and put the though in my head that the water pipes in our house could burst (even though we left the faucets on). Considering all my computer stuff, sketchbooks, art projects from school, scanner etc. are all in the basement I ran home to move everything upstairs. When I got in the power was still out and you could see your breath in my kitchen. I went into the bedroom to see how the cat was coping with the loss of heat and this is how I found her. (I covered her up with the blanket of course, she's not that smart)
