Hour by Hour

 Fio is sheltering with Son L's wife's family for the duration because they have heat and food, which Fio does not.

Daughter-in-law's parents have great hearts and are fantastic organizers. As well as Fiorella, they've taken in all wife's cousin's family of four, plus dog. Still, your girl's greatest desire is to be home again in the house she's already sold and has to vacate in a about two weeks. Couldn't the snowstorm have had the courtesy to  occur at a better time? Maybe a month or so down the road, when Fio's moved out

The snow is getting to Fiorella. It was a yearly event when she lived in Ohio and an exciting--and rare-- circumstance when it occurred in Texas, but the viciousness of this snowstorm is new to her, and she doesn't like the outages that knocked her over and are going to be hanging around a while. Apparently, it's going to take a long time for Texas to pull itself together. Meanwhile, the politicians are blaming each other.

What will Fiorella do when she gets home but pack up the last evidence of her occupancy--her clothes, which have been augmented by a fair number of Husband's shirts and pullovers that proved their worth this year.

By the way, the purchase of the new house is coming along quite briskly, but moving in, of course, will be another story. Your girl has a three-car garage full of art, furniture, and collectables from her grandmothers on down.
