No picture today.
Storm came through here yesterday about 6 pm or so and blew out all the power internet and tv. We used candles until bedtime hoping the lights would be on when we woke up.
I woke to generators running.
So we dragged our small one out- that does heat, the fridge and a few lights. Making coffee with a microwave. Watching said microwave make the light shutter.
But about 10 minutes ago- we saw the neighbor had lights so we shut down the generator and the computer started it's little Old self up. So I came over to say hello. Tomorrow in the paper we'll read what actually happened- 87,000 homes without power.
No picture for the word I pulled for today- BLOSSOM as the phone is dead has and refused to charge up.
The Good Bits- Worried it would go bad-------I ate the last of the pumpkin pie for breakfast. I found a bandage for my finger that got all bloody trying to make the generator work. That was a really good bit. The bandaid bit. The generator is a pain. But we aren't hauling the fridge and freezer contents to the dump. So a very Good Bit there. I turned on the Porch Wreaths. Let in the Happiness.
Well, I am well and truly exhausted. Not by the lack of electricity, internet or cable. But the worry of loosing food in the fridge and freezer just the day after shopping. The Husband and the Generator. Which is not a great situation in even in the good old days. But we made it out the other side. It's fine.
How was your day?

My day was good because we didn't lose power, sorry you did. I know how stressful it can be worrying about all that can happen in an outage, been there done that. I was alone during the ice storm of 19??, (don't recall the date) trying to keep things together. Had a bad case of anxienty, ended up in the ER by ambulance, so embarrassed! ................Annie
I've said it before but never tire of repeating: pie for breakfast is a wonderful thing
