On the downside, we're going on twenty four hours with no power. Not to mention the wire the fell from our house yesterday evening and is drooping precariously close to traffic coming down the street - the garbage trucks barely cleared it this morning. The fact that the crews haven't been by yet to fix it is probably a bad sign. News reports are saying it could take a full week to restore power to everyone.
Thank goodness for my iPhone, which has kept us from feeling cut off from the rest of the world. (My laptop is now simply a large iPhone charging device.) Thank goodness also for my neighbor with a generator who remembered that I'm diabetic. He came over yesterday to take my spare insulin and will store it in his refrigerator until our power is back. It may have lasted the outage, but better safe than sorry - or better safe than insulinless.
I hope all is well in your corner of the world. Until the power is back, you'll find me knitting and reading and cleaning (but not vacuuming).

Glad you are relatively unscathed, albeit without power. (And what a neighbor!)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are safe. I have never really thought about a long term power outage. Maybe it's time to get a generator.
ReplyDeletethanks for checking in! glad you're hanging in there, considering.
ReplyDeleteHooray for thoughtful neighbours! Glad you (and your insulin) are okay.
ReplyDeleteyay for iphones, and generators and wonderful neighbours with generators!! hopefully your power is restored post-haste!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys could come hang out at our house if you want!

It is so cool to belong to a community where you immediately think of members who live in other parts of the country.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll stop whining about our 5-6 hours with no electricity.
ReplyDeleteHope your power is back on very soon.
I know being without power sucks. I do hope it doesn't take as long as they say to come back on. Looking at the pictures online and on the news, I'm just blown away by the damage. It's like things you hear about in other states, not here in our area. I'm glad you, Pete, your house & kitties are ok. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice of that man to store your insulin. What a blessing. Glad you're okay and hope the power comes on soon!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you and Pea are ok! Great neighbor too! Hoping your power is back soon!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care!
yay for awesome neighbors! glad you guys made it through ok. hope your power returns soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry for what you're going through right now! Sounds like it could be a fun situation though :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway I randomly found your blog and have subscribed to it - I'm a 24 year old diabetic and have been T1 since I was 8 - also using a Paradigm (no CGM though). I am excited to read what you have to say!
Hope your power is back on now. Glad you are all okay and that the insulin is safe! What an awesome neighbor!!! :)
