Waking up, I pulled my blankets around me. I reached under the blanket to my husband, Max, and said, "Max, it is so cold in here."
Lifting his head, he said, "Then don't blast the air conditioner, babe
"Max," I said. "I got chilly last night and moved it up to seventy-five."
He sat up and said, "Are you sure you didn't turn it down?"
"Yes," I said. Sitting up, He tossed me a hoodie, and I climbed out of bed and put it on.
He checked the thermostat and called out, "Abbie, you turned it up to eighty."
I went over to the window and opened the curtain. Looking out, I said, "Max, you need to see this."
He walked over to the window and said, "There is no way it's the end of May in Florida. Why in the world is it snowing? Come on, let's go make breakfast and put on the news."
We went downstairs to the kitchen, and Max put on the TV. A special report was playing. The reporter said, "Ladies and gentlemen, an unprecedented global weather event is happening. Temperatures around the world have dropped significantly. We advise to stay in your home and as soon as we have more news we will report it."
Max said, "Babe we need to get the barn ready for the cold."
Nodding, I said, "Lets do that before we eat."
"No," He said. "Let's eat because we will probably have to head to the store after we work in the barn and get stuff to secure it. I am so glad we are off today."
"Me to," I said as I grabbed bacon, eggs, tator tots and bagels. Putting the tator tots in the air fryer i started cooking the bacon and making our sandwiches. When they were done we sat down and Max's phone rang.
He answered it and said, "Hey bro, what's going on?"
He listened as he ate and said, "That is crazy. Abbie and I are going to secure the barn."
He listened for a few more minutes and said, "Let me talk to Abbie and see if that is alright. I understand man I would not want to be in the city either."
I said, "Put him n hold I said."
He said, "Sam let me put you on hold a sec."
"What is going on?" I asked.
"Sam and Maggie need to get out of the city," He said. "When they got up, the apartment was cold with the heat on. Thankfully, they had a space heater for thier room and thats where Maggie is with the baby. They called the landlord and they said that they will have to deal with it or move out."
"Tell them to come out. Maggie and him can clean the cabin and move in there. They will need to bring furniture because all that is in there is a bed in the guest room."
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yes," I said. "I will not allow our niece to freeze with a shit apartment. Tell him they can pay is $300 a month to cover the utilities. That and he can help you around the farm."
He nodded and took Sam off of hold. He told him everything and ended with, "See you soon man. Yeah bring stuff for the baby now, and some stuff to get started with. We will get you moved in after you get it cleaned up."
He hung up and said, "He said deal. They can save for their own home if we can continue to work."
Nodding I said, "Thank god we are preppers and have everything we need. I will probably add to it though incase."
He nodded and said, "I know Sam has a lot stashed as well. At least they have that huge pantry in there."
I stood up and went to the door to the greenhouse. Walking over to the wood box I grabbed some wood and started a small fire in the wood stove. Max walked out and I said, "I will need to harvest a bunch this week. But I need to keep the temperature steady in here."
My phone rang and I said, "Mitch whats up?"
"Callie love can you believe this shit?" He said.
"It is insane Mitch," I said. "We are moving Sams brither to the cabin the landlord was like move out if you do not like the crap heat. Anyway what is up?"
"We will need to start research on weather events," He said. "I have updated your workload and time frames when your scheduled. Callie something big is going on so please be careful."
"I will," I said. "Are we on check in protocal yet?"
"Not yet," He said. "I will call you if that happens."
We said farewell, and I hung up. Max asked, "How bad is it?"
"Wewere put on research for this," I said. "We may also go into check in protocal."
"Shit," He said.
"My thoughts exactly," I said.
Abbie- main
Max- Husband, Sam- Brother, Maggie-SIL
Mitch- Boss
