Getting ready in the dark

Nothing better than waking up to find the power is out. Poor Joel had to take a cold shower in the dark, I couldn't make him a hot breakfast, I couldn't make his tea!

A Tree fall on the power line so our whole block is dark. Estimated repair time between 10-4. Well that's awesome. I put flashlights in the bathroom so Star and Sissy can have some light when they get ready.

I also woke Sissy up to tell her the power was out. I talked about how her morning would be different, cold shower, in the dark. There is no windows in our bathrooms. Thankfully a cold breakfast was already planned so that won't change.

She took the news good.

So yeah great start to the morning. But hey I did get 3 hours of sleep last night so there is that!

We feel your pain. Our power outages were so frequent that we finally got a Generac to power the whole house. It has served us well through several hurricanes, storms, and freezes.
@exexec hopefully this isn't something that happens a lot. We just moved into this neighborhood. I do have a gas-powered generator but that is awful loud to run at 4:30 in the morning.

@Cigarguy101 Yes, your neighbors would love hearing that generator early in the morning.
@exexec not exactly how I want to meet the new neighbors

@Cigarguy101 you really have to be very careful with gasoline powered generators. They can be useful in a pinch but are very dangerous for many reasons.
