Re: The Thornton-Curry Saloon (OOC Thread)
I hope everyone is safe, well, and warm.
I apologize. I had not honestly anticipated such a long silence. By way of explanation, in the wake of my last post, I lost power in my home again, this time for a five day stretch. Ultimately, the water ended up getting shut off as well, though in my case, thankfully, that was a proactive measure by the city to prevent pipes from bursting. In the end, I had to find shelter at a friend’s home. At the worst point, it hit 38 degrees inside my apartment.
The power came on yesterday afternoon and water was restored this morning. We’re under a boil water notice, but I have plenty of bottled water and sufficient pots to make it through until that lifts. I sincerely count myself blessed. My apartment is intact and free of damage, and I know there are still a number of people in the city without electricity and running water.
All that to say, I should be back in the swing of things here in a day or so. Spending some time with storytelling will likely prove somewhat therapeutic for me. I’m still contending with a bit of a “stranger in a strange land” feeling at the moment.
Again, I hope each of you are doing well.
