Power! And weekend report

We got our power back on Thursday night while shopping for dinner. We came home and voila, light! Everyone was relieved, including the dogs. However, I did notice that we all scattered to our electronics, where before we'd talked at mealtimes (not much else we could do

Kinda sad how we all go straight for our devices, isn't it? I grew up in an area with really bad reception, so I was used to not being able to use my phone all the time, but my friends would visit from town and be waving their phones around trying to get a signal and I would find it really annoying. I'm probably just as bad as they were when I go home now, though.

I have found myself reading more books offline the last few days, so that's good.

It seems like it's always snowing somewhere. :/ I'm glad the weekend went ok despite that!

I actually like snow, just not a heavy wet 15 inches that takes out power lines!

You don't realise how much you use power until you don't have it.
I've had reindeer steak but not sausage, it sound nice.
I hope your migraine has gone

I don't know how many times we walked into a room and hit the light switch. A lot, I think.

Reindeer sausage is spicy and delicious.

Migraine has melted away with the morning sun- and some Excedrin migraine. Love that stuff, but not at night.

Power is good! And the power grid is remarkably vulnerable everywhere. Don't really like to think about it - I'm glad you were set up to last through the long outage. And sorry to hear about your migraine - hope it's passing quickly.

In this case we had 15 inches of snow fall while leaves were still on trees, therefore bringing them down across the power lines. Not really something anyone could plan for, though I'm buying a generator wherever I end up next.
