Forgot to post. When
wrog came home to pick up a few things for staying over at mom's on Wednesday, the lights were on. So we trundled the kids home. Emptied EVERYTHING from the fridge and washed it out, then put back the safe items: 5 bottles of wine, one unopened jar each of jam, relish and mustard (we don't even use the last two, so I'm not sure why we have them in the first place... oh, right, for potato salad), an unopened bottle of juice, three "blue ice" kind of things, and some inkjet printer cartridges.
The cat seems unharmed by the whole thing (though she was a bit ticked off). I just realized she's going to be nineteen in about a month. Egad.
With
kathrynt's power back on last night, I think everyone I know is finally back on the grid. That was a long haul.
Also, if anything important happened to *you* in the last week, drop me a comment. I'm sort of skimming, but there's no way I can read everything back to the 14th.
