Diary of a Cave Mommy: Day 5 Where Has All The Power Gone?

Dear Diary,

   It has been the same routine today as yesterday. Thank goodness for gas stoves and candles! I have a whole counter full of pumpkins that need to be cooked and stored, but I need to wait until I have the freezer running. I was told the power will be back on today, but I haven't seen any sign of utility trucks for days on our street, in fact, I haven't seen any cars at all except for ours and one other neighbor who is sticking it out as well! It is like a ghost town. I did see a patrol car once, thank heaven!

   A sweet friend has offered to make a casserole and bring it over for dinner tonight. What a blessing! It is starting to get dark and I am lighting candles. I am definitely going to commit to doing that laundry tomorrow.

   Oh my goodness! There is a truck on our road!

Never mind, they were just cleaning up the tree branches.

Oh my goodness! There is another truck on the road!

Never mind, it was maintenance cleaning up the lawn.

Oh my goodness! There is a utility truck on the road! They are definitely working on the wires!

Sunny and I are watching them out the window.

THE POWER JUST CAME BACK ON!!!!!
Oh my gosh I feel like Christmas!!!!
Sunny and I are dancing and singing! It only took them 25 minutes to turn the power on! I can't believe it! Thank you God for electricity!
