Cold, Dark, Still Here
Teez Update
Well hello there, my resilient little heat seekers.
Since so many of you have been sliding into my messages asking about my current power situation.
(Which let me just say thank you all so much, it really means the world to me!💋 )
And ya'll, I must say… I can only describe this as the ice storm from hell.
And no Antarctica… I am not being dramatic. This storms aftermath is brutal.
Anyways… I just received a fresh notification from Entergy and it looks like our new estimated power restoration date has been pushed to January 31st at 10 PM.
Which means yes… at least three more days without power, stacked neatly on top of the four we have already endured.
Seven days of forced stillness, layered blankets, and breath you can see in the air.
NOT the kind of edging I asked for, but here I am.
To add a little spice to the plot twist, my roommate has officially decided to jump ship.
She is going to retreat to her mother’s house where power has already been restored.
I do not blame her. Survival instincts are sexy. (On a good note, maybe I can finally get some solo play in 🤔)
Okay back to the point… she did manage to secure a generator and graciously offered to let me use it, but then my plot thickens a little more.
I am currently broke. I mean broke broke.
So I am doing something that does not come easy for me. I hate asking for help.
However… I am sharing my PayPal at the end for anyone who feels drawn to help financially with gas, food, water, batteries, firewood, etc… No pressure. No obligation. Seriously.
I was once told if you never ask for help you'll always be alone in your struggles.
So here I am… an open heart, and an honest moment.
And if financial help is not possible, truly, I get it.
Please send me your good vibes. Your prayers, if you are the praying type. Your warmth from afar. Hell just breathe your hot air in Louisiana's direction! 😆
Because I feel it all, and it matters more than you know.
Thank you for hanging with me while I press through the rest of this dreadfully cold week without power.
Thank you for checking in, for caring, for holding space for me when I am bundled up, chilled, and still choosing softness.
I will be back in full heat soon. 🥵
Until then, I am surviving thw cold with layers, gratitude, and the quiet intimacy of being witnessed.
Also sorry for any typos I hate typing on my phone.
Always yours, Tee💋



There’s something quietly brave about the way you hold this moment. You let the cold be real without letting it harden you.
