I also have watched the first season of The Pitt and I’ve been waiting 4 months to go back and read Saeed’s posts about it because he never disappoints!
I’ve made it to the season finale of #ThePitt and I’m stressed and scared and thrilled.

I just finished this book today after Roxane’s recommendation and it was absolutely wonderful. Unique and captivating.

The number of little treats I am promising myself once the power goes back on has reached a number that is going to require a winning lotto ticket.

Okay! Day 9 without electricity!! This weekend, having power for 45 minutes and then never again, was depressing. BUT! This morning I am feeling tough and determined now. It will get fixed. I can endure. It sucks and that’s okay.

My zip code is estimated to get power restored by next Friday.

Definitely not the biggest problem in my life right now, but I was supposed to have a colonoscopy next week. I had to reschedule it because I still don’t have power and even if I get it back today, I really don’t want to start immediately prepping for the procedure.

Day 7 without power in Nashville, grateful for those hardworking crews etc, but……
Surely there's an alternative between prohibitively expensive buried lines and the current system that looks like a rats nest.

Closing out day 6 with no power at my house. I'm safe and warm about an hour away, but I hate not knowing when I'll be able to go home.
Gritting my teeth and muttering on repeat "this is just for right now, this is just for right now."

January is really trying to take us out. I still have no power on day 6, but after the first 3 days, I evacuated an hour north. I'm going to crylaugh if my electricity gets restored and I can't go home because now the roads are bad again.
Big cold coming this weekend. Please make sure your are taking the right steps to stay safe. Especially if you're in one of the estimated 75,000 homes without power.

There are indications that power might not be restored for 3-4 more DAYS. I simply cannot. Last night sucked even with 3 extension cords running from my neighbor’s generator to a little heater in my bedroom.
It was about 40° in the house the morning.

When I get very stressed and tired, I don’t want to talk to anyone or be around anyone.
This is a real problem because often the events that have made me this way mean I need to accept help. And it’s the last fucking thing I want.
Day 4 without electricity is providing insights.

I lasted about 32 hours with no power before thinking "I would pay like $100 to be warm and have a hot shower" then realized that's about what a hotel would be. I got the last room about 15 miles south of me and I'm all clean and warm now.

Still no power. But I was warm enough in bed! It’s getting out of bed that was rough. Getting the candles going again, changing into fresh warm clothes (I would fucking love a long hot shower), and hey at least my Diet Coke is cold.

I’m going to be so happy when the power comes back on. Nothing makes me more grateful for electricity than doing without. The candles are nice and all but it’s been 12 hours and I dread the thought of doing this for days.

Super not great. I’ve been lucky so far but these trees are NOT happy.

Got out my great grandmother’s quilt to add to my stay warm set up and I wonder how many others before me huddled under it in the cold winters.
Probably they didn’t have Diet Coke and access to all the world’s horrors in their palm.

I woke up to find I was one of them. Enacting my stay warm plan now, glad I’m ready.
About 12% of NES customers without power now, about 60,000 meters.

I filled the bird feeders this morning because one thing I really love is seeing little birdie footprints in the snow.

Great news. I am supplied with Diet Coke and Publix wasn't a total zoo. Also went to yoga this morning, figured I should stretch and move before nesting into the sofa for several days.
We are forecast for major snow and ice impacts this weekend. I did my grocery stocking up yesterday HOWEVER I somehow deeply underestimated my current Diet Coke supply. I may have to go battle the panic crowds for it.
