    And I'm back!

    Was without power most of yesterday. I didn't care in the day but when I got home at 6pm and it still wasn't on? GAH! Had to get the kids ready and put to bed with the emergency flashlight. lol. Glad we had dinner plans and went out to dinner!

    Thankfully everything was back up by 7pm.

    Sorry to hear that Lola, I hope it wasn't too cold. We can manage not to bad with the power off as far as food, and preparing kids for bed, but if it's cold and you don't have a pellet or wood burning stove, it's horrible.

    Was it from the nasty winds yesterday, Lola? We had some insane winds but we never lost power. We have a pellet stove but it plugs in so we'd be screwed if the power went out.

    It's definitely not as windy today but man is it cold!!

    It was chilly but not to bad. Just bundled the kids in warmer pjs and put an extra blanket on. I talked to hydro and they said they had been working on it for a few hours and expected it to be back up within the hour so I wasn't worried.

    It was more the hassle of getting in with 2 kids (4, 20 months) and trying to navigate to get the flashlight and then bedtime routine in the semi dark. lol. No nightlight in the hall, which they were not found of so I ended up finding a small pen light flashlight and laying it on the floor. lol

    We have a fireplace in the basement but dont use it. DH wants to put an insert in this summer to make it a woodstove. We had a woodstove at our old house and it was great, although I dont "tend" to the fire. That's DH's job so if he's not here, I stick to the furnace. lol

    I'm guessing it must have been.

    Weird thing was all the houses in front of us and to the side (we're on a corner) had power. Behind us apparently didn't. It only affected about 100 houses, so the woman said. Weird!

    Haha, true enough. I know it's not major, but it feels like it to me. Never had surgery in my life & hospitals make me as it is!

    I'm glad you got in - just think, once you recover from it, you won't be bothered by all you have been going through anymore!

    You'll be taken great care of! Is it outpatient, or do you stay there?
