Day Two of Power Outage

Friday, December 12, 2008

Breakfast: A few pastries

Lunch: None

Dinner: Scallops & bacon, steak, a few chips, lasagna

Drinks: One hot coffee, four or five Heineken Lights

Walked 10,100+ steps

After a very long night of hearing trees and branches crash all around, I fell into a sleep around 4AM and overslept until about 6:45 AM in which I rushed to work with no shower. It was still pouring rain and ice covered all the trees.

Getting to work was an adventure, as many roads were closed by fallen trees. Got to work nearly an hour late and had to reschedule my meeting. Had a few pastries for breakfast and left work early only to find no power when I got home with no immediate prospects of it coming back on anytime soon. Basement is flooded with about 3-4 inches of water.

Went to co-workers house for (planned) dinner which was okay but a very long drive. Didn't get home until past 11PM and came home to a dark and cold house. Kids were already sleeping. Got under blankets with my sweater on and still it felt cold, sort of like camping out.
