powerless

We didn’t think much of it around 10am when the power went down like 5 times in 10 minutes. We assumed it’d be back up in short order. Called PG&E and was given the notice that power would resume within 2 hours. Not bad. Called again at 2:30 and got the same message. Called later and was given a window of 3:30 to 5:30 as a resume window. This was at 6pm as we were leaving the house. We arrived back after 10pm and the lights were thankfully back on.

The kids were troopers but we were all were antsy by 3pm. We had done the board games, some hide n’seek, Shrek Memory and games on the laptops with whatever battery life remained.
