I haven't been here this week because we had no power. Storms with 85-90 mph winds knocked out our electricity, along with most of the towns around us. It went off Saturday morning and came back on Monday afternoon, but we had no idea how long it was going to be. By Sunday night both kids had abandoned us- the younger to his friend's house and the older to a hotel.
Yesterday 5 minutes after I left to take a shower at a neighbor's house, and charge up our phones our power came back on. I had Master's cell phone to charge it up. The neighbor had offered showers/laundry machine/ charging for our phones since they are really nice. Our younger son was staying with them- they are about 3 miles down the road and their son is his oldest friend. And for some reason the phone at our house still wasn't working even though the power was on. So he and the older kid (who had come back from the hotel he'd gone to- he's 18 and discovering that he can just go get a room and not have to put up with out lack of internet at home during black out) biked over to tell me that the power was back on. I'd already gotten my shower by then (felt great). If you haven't gone without it for a few days, you have no idea how wonderful the sight of water coming out of your tap can be.

ReplyDeleteHi Ancilla,
ReplyDeleteSorry you were powerless. You don't realise how much we rely on it until we don't have it.
