Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am grateful for...

• Storage batteries.
• LEDs.
• Roadside Assist.
• Our gas stove. (Not including the oven, alas!)
• Warm things to wear, warm(ish) blankets, and snuggly cats. (But why couldn't they snuggle under the covers, where we could keep each other warm?)
• Puget Sound Energy, restoring power two days before their initial estimate.
• Methocarbamol.
• Wire transfers.
• Not having to wrestle with my gasoline-powered generator.
• Our kitchen hood fan, when it has power.

I am glad you have power back!! Yikes!

Yeah; it was off from about 11pm Tuesday night through about 11am this morning. There were a couple of very worrisome moments, but mostly our emergency preparation paid off.

Thank goodness. (Our backup is a house battery with solar panels, but they don't get a lot of light in winter, so it'd mostly be "charge phones, run a little furnace, run the fridge, run the CPAP"...)

Silly cats, not coming under the covers!

Brrrrr!

I'm glad your power is back on.

Thanks! So are we, obviously. I keep finding ways in which our preparation has been inadequate, but we didn't run out of lights or water this time, so that's something.

Brrrrrrrrr!
