Day 4 Continues
Our projected power restoration of 9-11pm tonight has been canceled. The real tease was that around 3pm, we got an automated "Congratulations! Your power has been restored!" phone call. But...it hadn't. So we called the "Oh, PSYCH, we didn't mean YOU" number given and found out that they fixed what they thought was the problem, but only restored about 300 of the 1200 houses out of power (it obviously is not just Grizzly Flats since there aren't even 1200 PEOPLE up here, much less houses). So that left them back at square one and they just don't have a clue when it's going to be on.
Poor Eric has not slept since this all began and is just ragged. I took the boys and went out for (more) provisions today and we're still hunkered down. The very kind neighbors are still letting us have some of their generator power, so I pop on a couple of times a day to check email and update. I didn't even got to finish a full shift of work today.
So yeah, some day, there will be power again.
I couldn't bear myself any longer today and went balls to the wall and washed my hair in the icy water coming out of the tub faucet. I feel SO much better and after the intense, bone-jarring shock that lasts maybe 30 seconds or so, your head goes numb and it just doesn't matter any more. Afterward, head feels much better. Head, pits and ladybits are all that get attention these days.
So yeah, that's what's up.
