Just got my electric and internet back after a week

We are so very relieved to start to get our homes back to normal. What a big mess, though. My poor husband is outside with the chain saw cutting up downed limbs and taking down parts of broken trees. It will take weeks if not months. I need to go out and help him haul, between doing the 10 loads of laundry that has backed up in the house. Not a clean towel to be had. Because we had hot water we gave out a lot of showers to those who did not during the long past week.

We have a generator so we were able to have water, hot and cold, for washing up and toilet flushing, keep the food in the freezer from spoiling, and a camp stove set up outside for simple meals and hot drinks. Many did not have even that. I am pressing heavily for a wood stove. I always had one in the past but I have only lived in my husband's house for a few years. He never thought to get one. Here it is a necessity.

welcome back, come-on in the water is fine.
