power outage continues

and I owe my neighbor cookies or something. I'm back outside charging my laptop (battery only lasts for 2 hours). He's in watching TV. This is some awesome generator! He uses it in his trailer when he travels. I'm getting more bars on my USB cell phone modem. I think it's calmed down in that people are not using as much.

I am sooooooo not looking forward to the mess that is going to be in the freezer and fridge. I haven't opened either one, but ugh.... food spoilage to the max. On our battery radio they say some areas no power restored till SUNDAY!!! I hope that is not us.

I've been without water for 6 days before--and that was bad enough! I can't imagine being without power for days--particularly when *everyone* is out--it's not like you can drive into town and stay at a hotel and things would be better.

Hope this resolves soon!

I love your 'facepalm' icon, BTW--do you mind if I snag it? :-)

Freaky, eh? Our power came back on shortly after midnight. So all of our clocks were only off by a few minutes this morning. I hope yours is back by now.

It came on at some point, I went to bed midnight-ish and it wasn't on, but it was this morning - and I was a little late getting in to work, since no alarm to get me up.
