meimichanSo, did anyone miss my online presense? Did anyone even notice? :p
We lost power on Wednesday night, courtesy of winds gusting more than 70 mph over a 1.5 day period. It came back at about 11:30 this morning.
It was a bloody luxury not having to go get a bucket of green water with twigs from the lake to flush the toilet. Also, we finally worked our way down to dry wood-the wind storms did bring an assload of rain with them.
And the shower...oh my god, I really needed a shower. I was about to just grab some shampoo and a towel and head for a gas station bathroom. Dad and Jason fired up their computers(yes, Jason drove out this weekend, and thank goodness, I can cook him dinner after all!), but me, I watched the goddamn clock until there would be enough water heated up, and took a fucking shower.
To be fair, the power did come back on at 8:30 last night...at 1/10 it's strength. So we had some dim lights and shut off all the appliances so they wouldn't die. Just enough to taunt the hell out of you and dash away your final hopes. I was looking at the lamp in the corner and watched it get really bright. I kept staring at it, waiting for it to die. And it didn't. Then I jumped for joy and my cat had to move.
Mom's ticked about missing Dollhouse premiere last night. Dad's ticked that he missed two Red Wings games, since he does pay a lot for the hockey channels. (A loss to the Blue Jackets? Really Detroit? I'm kinda glad we missed that one, BECAUSE THAT'S EMBARRASSING.)
Time to go through the fridge and freezer and throw some shit out.
Ohhh, that shower was glorious.
