Well, it looks like the storm didn’t complete pass us by. I went home for lunch this afternoon only to discover that the power was out in the building. No idea how long it’s been out, and I don’t have anything in the refrigerator that will immediately spoil (I almost never buy milk or eggs), but I’m hoping the electricity comes back on before I get home again this evening. Otherwise, I’ll have to swing by Walmart for a bag of ice, hope nothing’s been defrosted so much that it can’t still be saved in my tiny plastic cooler, and probably throw out the meat I’ve been defrosting for dinner tonight.
None of this, I expect, is all that interesting to any of you. But, really, who else am I going to tell?
The last time the power went out for any length of time in my building was last Halloween. It was out for almost two days.
