How very odd.... I was just sitting here wondering how people are managing, and in walks this guy tan pants, white shirt, and a red bandanna on his head...(Not the kind of guy who normally visits us at a Heating and Air Conditioning Business). wants to know if there is anybody here he can talk to... I did not want to tell him I was alone... I ask what can I do for you... His reply..."I need some food"... Sadly I shook my head and said there isn't anybody here that can help you. Thank God he just turned and left. (No, I wasn't actually afraid, but a little sceptical. Since we just were reminded about 9/11 and the fact that Decatur --ADM --was also one of their targets at that time, I do try to watch what my surroundings are and try not to put myself into a position of danger.
Lunch hours can be rather frustrating, when everybody leaves and there is only one of us girls here. And we sure can't depend on the shop man out back, sometimes he is so far out back he'd never hear us if we screamed.
But, that is not what I was thinking about when I typed the Title "How people are managing". In the past two days it seems as tho we have taken tons and tons of phone calls from people who need their furnaces checked due to the fact that they had water in their basements. Some almost in tears at having to clean up their messes and the cost. Yet, how grateful we here in Illinois should be that we don't have it nearly as bad as the people in Texas do right now.
When I see older people struggling to stay in their homes, yet have such a terrible time of it when they need new furnaces to stay warm. Plus their power bills are very high. How do people manage?
