Barbino, Yes I feel like we've kind of been in the "bad luck crosshairs" for a while, but we are still so blessed and are much better off than many. (perspective, perspective - I'm trying really hard!
)
Still no power, but yesterday, I did see a Centerpoint truck on our street, and talked to the man. They are surveying the poles to see when they can start back up the lines. We have so many downed trees/lines that they are afraid that if they start it up, the fuses/transformers will blow, so they are going house by house. It is a tedious process, but at least there is some activitiy.
Last night was brutal in terms of the heat and the damn MOSQUITOS!! I tried to sleep in the den with the back doors open, but the bugs attacked!!! It was a choice of air circulation or keeping the blood in my body
I'm thinking that if by tonight we still don't have power, I may pack up my family and sleep on the floor at the office where we have power. My son will be happy too because he can check facebook - he's going through withdrawals - 2 weeks with no internet - THE HORROR
Dad is doing ok, I'm heading down there tonight with his immense piles of clean laundry and (crossing fingers) the generator!
He is planning on using it in a safe place with plenty of ventillation (it is tragic the number of carbon monoxide poisonings), and having a fan running down there will make his life much more pleasant.
Pray for POWER (and a coldfront
) I'm not asking for too much, am I??
