A full day of power

I know this is the third post today but I just have to say its nice to have power again. I moved the animals back to their normal sleeping spots. It will be nice to be warm all night long. And there wont be any getting up in the morning to stand outside freezing while I pour gas in the generator.  That really was the worse part I think. Having to stand in the cold filling that thing up. The new gas cans all have safety protection on them and it is almost impossible to use them to fill the tank. You have to press this or pull/push that its stupid.

I had to throw out almost all of our food. It had all gone bad. We wont go shopping again until we know for sure we are not losing power again. But I will sure be happy when I can make dinner at home instead of having to live on fast food. I figure we lost about $150 - $200 worth of food.

Cable tells me they had us ‘booked’ to rerun the wires for our phone and internet tomorrow. This is not what they told me when I called earlier in the day but the fellow this evening assured me that it had been ‘booked’ so we will see if I get any internet tomorrow.  I have to go fax some stuff for the insurance so I hope that they get done early.

Glas things are slowly returning to normal. We were getting concerned.
