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!

Four years ago our air conditioner broke a few days before the 4th of July. Being a holiday we couldn't get a new unit installed for a week. It was 93 degrees in the house with all the doors open and the fans on. Fortunately we have a RV with a generator and good working air conditioning. We just moved out to the RV for a week. It was nice and cool out there.
