Hello! I am back in better spirits this morning. After THIRTY FOUR HOURS without power, we are back! I won't lie, it was rough yesterday. I took a cold shower in the dark. I stole power from the side of the complex office building to charge my phone like some crazy homeless person. I finally had to get out of the house so we loaded up B's mom and headed to the beach. The drive over was pretty nice. We headed out around 10:30 and got there a little after 11. Not bad at all. Found some parking, had lunch, wandered around, got caught in not one but two hailstorms, went to the aquarium to feed seals with every person on spring break ever... wait what was that last part? Yep. Two hailstorms. It was crazy. Just out of nowhere the sky opened up and it came down for about 5 minutes each time.
We had a good time at the beach and headed home around 3. We got back home to still no power. Sigh. B and her mom both wanted a nap so I took a handful of stuff down to the office and sat there until 5 charging things up. Just as I was finishing B excitedly calls me to tell me power was back on. YAY! Our 34 hour adventure was finally over. First task, finally opening the fridge and freezer. Here's where I was pleasantly surprised. Only a few things had gone bad. Because we made sure not to open either one the whole time the power was out, everything in the freezer was still solid and we just lost milk, sour cream, and strawberries from the fridge. The rest was good.
B's mom made a chicken dish she used to make B as a kid. (I went to the store and got fresh chicken, not some that would have been in the fridge in case you were worried.) We had dinner, then they wanted to watch a movie. Around 10, I realized I was drained and exhausted and went to bed. Don't know what time they crashed.
Going to the mall today and then indian food for dinner. Big plans.
