Electricity Still Out

I'm at work this morning but the electricity at the house is still out. Longview School District is closed, but Alexandra's school is open. It's really nice weather here, only like 66F right now, so even without electricity, it's quite comfortable. Big contrast to what I heard from the family in South Louisiana last week with temps. in the 90s.

Anyway, it's actually been kinda fun. I guess fond memories of hurricanes during my childhood predispose me to a good hurricane attitude. When we came up to the office Saturday night, we told Alexandra we were going on "an adventure" and we have been doing a lot of things like reading, blowing bubbles and playing board games. Alexandra has been having fun holding the flashlights.

I'm grateful that it wasn't very bad. I never did finish my "emergency kit" before we lost power (and I lost the Internet & hadn't printed out everything I needed in it. haha). It's all still strewn on the dining room table. But I'll be ready for any type of emergency next time! ;-) I fear that the food in the standup freezer may be lost though we have not opened it the whole time. ;-/
