I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and internet and cable too, finally!)

My power is still not on. STILL. It has been a week, and there's a very good chance that it will STILL not be on for another few days. I cannot tell you the amount of money we've had to waste continuously buying food because we can't store anything at our house.

Danny and I haven't had power since yesterday at 2pm. Stupid hurricane. You don't expect to have to deal with this type of stuff living in Ohio.
