I think we grilled out enough of our frozen meat to feed an army! Guess who won’t be eating out for a while.

Drew– my car was two behind one that got smashed by a skylight. Well, my LOANER car. But still.

Kate– My mom has no electricity either, so we’re both in the same boat. She said she was spending today cleaning out her yard. Her work (she’s a nurse) had to send someone to pick her up– no electricity equals car stuck in garage. Oops!

I am at my parents’ place. It’s a blessing and a curse – I remember now why I am so glad I have my own place!

That said, I am very grateful for the electricity, the good food and the nice conversation (well, mostly nice.) My work is on hiatus, too, b/c of lack of electricity – I’m starting to feel some Cabin Fever!!

Jane, you and I must live very close to one another. Everyone else has power!

… and here I thought *I* was the only one downtown (well, North Main/OTR area) without power. I had about $200 worth of frig/freezer goods that I moved to a friend’s place. Now I have no excuse not to scrub down the frig interior.
