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!

You do not know how well you have your life until something changes it. Have you made any changes to be prepared if or when this happens again?

@PoetryNEmotion no- I just got it back on yesterday. I plan on getting flashlights and battery fans.

@Mardrae If this happens frequently I would consider getting a generator.
@Musicman That was what I was going to suggest.

@PoetryNEmotion Great minds think alike. We loose our electricity every fall.
@Musicman I have temporary power outages in the winter. Nothing much though. Have a generator. Need an outlet for it. A beast it is.

@PoetryNEmotion Yes you do. We have one and it is all set to go. We haven't used it though since we got the RV. It has a 10k watt onboard generator and three roof top AC units.
