(no subject)
Still no power at the house, but my mom's place got power last night so I'm basking in the awesomeness of her A/C right now.
We spent the last 2 nights at J and Kirstin's because they had full water pressure and a gas stove. We raided our fridge and Andy and Meg's freezer for anything still remotely cookable, and ended up making about a billion taquitos and fish sticks while at J's. Mmm, taquitos.
Josh's office has power but not lights (what?) so they made him work in the dark today. The Heights is still without power so I'm off until I get word from my boss that the office is up and running.
Today, I finished cleaning out the goddamned fridge, swept up the leaves that we had tracked in, washed the dishes (we finally have water pressure again!) and then headed to mom's.
Our roof has a decent amount of damage to it, we lost the bit of fence and gate that leads to the back yard, the shed out back has a bit of water in it from rain getting blown into the eaves, and my poor gazebo is impressively destroyed.
We just put that damned gazebo up last weekend, right before we found out the hurricane was acoming for us. I bought it when we first moved in to the house, but we were too lazy to put it up until then. It took four of us to get it up, and we just didn't have the man power needed to get it down when we were preparing the rest of the house for the storm. Right now part of it is hanging from tree limbs, while the rest is in a crumpled mass on the ground. The ground is still too water logged for me to be able to get close enough to start cleaning up the wreckage.
I will miss you, my little gazebo. :(
I am very glad the garage door made it through the storm. Our neighbors garage door looks like the Incredible Hulk punched it. Ike Smash!!!
