See if I pay them this month!
Oct. 16th, 2004 12:29 pmIt looks like the power is actually back on once and for all. It seems to have remained on all night. MassElectric was here until about 9 last night, screwing around in the transformers. All in all, the power was only out for 17 hours. We lost about $100 worth of food, which really sucks because we can't afford to replace it. We have to go pick up a couple essentials today, like milk and cream.
Hey, but at least we have chinese food to be thankful for.
We ended up going to the movies yesterday, since there was no point sitting around, with no power, just looking at each other. We saw A Shark's Tale, which was cute, but it certainly wasn't Shrek or Finding Nemo. I'm glad we only saw the matinee. I wouldn't have wanted to spend $9.50 a head to see it. Movies are so damned expensive these days... I remember why we basically never go to them, now.
What else... We went to Ocean State last night to get useful things for the presumed blackout conditions. I picked up my Christmas cards and some gift tags while I was there, as well. I also picked up a box of Madagascar Vanilla Red Tea, which is actually really good. Then again, it's nice to just be able to make a cup of tea in my house again.
I need a shower. I have no clue what we're doing today, only that I need to shower before we do anything else.
