Re: good friday
Yesterday was sunny and hit 80 degrees. Today was cloudy, breezy and chilly with temps in the 50s. It was PT/OT day for my mom with a quick trip to the supermarket afterwards. She's only been home since Wednesday, since we had electric issues with the house and the power had been off until the electricians gave us a new circuit breaker panel on Monday. I had been the only family member staying in the house overnight while the power was off and it was cold at night. Same experience when hurricane Sandy knocked out power out for a week ten years ago and the house was cold. They moved the electric meter outside so I can get the electric company to upgrade it to a smart meter. They also grounded the electric system and put grounding wires where the water shut off valves are located and on the pipes above the hot water heater so if the house was ever hit by lightning when someone was in the shower they wouldn't get a shock. Our cat had been staying with a friend of my sister's and he's happy to be home, so much so he kept waking me up last night wanting to be petted and held so I got very little sleep. Our old microwave gave up the ghost and I couldn't get the cord out of the outlet. So one of my sister's karate chopped at the cord to get it out and one of the prongs broke off and is stuck in the outlet. Monday one of the electricians will stop by to replace the outlet. Then I'll buy a new microwave from the Home Depot.
