We're Baacckkkkk

Well, I am. The cats went to the vet today to be boarded because it got too hot.
BUT as we now have power - Praise God! - they get to sleep at home tonight.

Five days without power. Narrowly avoided the fate of Panama City, Marianna and Mexico Beach.
I am beyond tired. The entire experience wasn't horrible, but the bad parts were very, very bad. Without power and a way to really communicate with the outside world, I felt very disconnected, as though I'd lost me. I really wanted my life back.

By the way, those lists they print before a big bad event is coming - what to get - GET IT.
Get more than you think you would need. Some day will be the one where you really do need it.

I missed my blogging friends. I'm glad to be back.


PS: Toby saw MONSTERS! He can't wait to meow all the details later this week.

  5. Welcome back! I am glad you are OK. I remember one time we were without power for 7 days, I felt very disconnected and forgotten.

  6. So glad the power is back. We can’t even imagine having no power for 5 days. The mom lost it when the power was out for 12 hours.

  12. Hokey smokes! We were worried about you all, and are glad you will soon be back. Our five-day power outage was in the winter, so no heat but we have a gas stove and managed to keep a small area of the house bearable. But high heat and no power...ick!
