I know that feeling WELL!
Just a drive-by here. Still at work, with a church event coming up for the evening.
We just had a whopper thunderstorm, around 1-1/2” of rain, and the power was out for almost 3 hours. We were just settling in around the candelabra to read, draw and play the guitar until bedtime when the lights (and the ac!) came back on.
I wouldn’t have minded going to bed in the dark, if I’d been sure we would get electricity back before everything in the refrigerator and freezers was lost.
Sometime in the fall, when we don’t have the ac running, I think we’ll have a lights-out event and sit around like our ancestors :-).
