So happy to have power- makes you appreciate the little things!

I just got my power back on after 2 days of no electricity after a bad storm. It made me appreciate the little things that I took for granted, like sleeping in a cool bed with my box fan blowing on me ( I was sleeping in my car a lot with the air conditioning going), charging my phone inside ( had to use my car), using my microwave to heat up my bone broth I drink every morning ( had to drive to a gas station to use their microwave), lighting ( had to use candles and my cell phone flashlight), going to the gym close to my house ( had to drive to a location almost 45 minutes away because my gym had no power). Taking a hot bath- had to take a cold one. So many things we just take for granted! I’m so thankful to have my power back on now! I’m at my gym now and they have no air conditioning and only half power, so it’s miserably hot here working out, but at least it’s right around the corner from my house and I don’t have to drive across town to work out.
Y’all have a great day!

Glad you got power back. Mine went out a week or so back, and we ran out of water (on a well) within an hour because somebody flushed. A couple of my neighbors have whole house generators that kick on automatically, mine's portable.

@BrewCityBarfly what a nightmare!!
@Mardrae Not really, power was only out a half day. Yours was a nightmare, I'd need to power the generator to run my sump pump, fridge, and some lighting just to keep things from going completely sideways.
