We had no power today. We stupidly decided to wait until the summer to have a switch/panel put in that will allow us to power the whole house with our generator in case of a major power loss (rather than plugging in extension cords to the generator). The major benefit of this is that we'll be able to use the air conditioning if a hurricane leaves us without power for a while. This is not an issue for me because I'll be packing up the kid and dog and heading north in the case of a hurricane. Jason will probably have to stay here to work, though, so he'd appreciate the a/c - and power in general.
Anywho. We waited til summer to do this, which was dumb because power had to be shut off to the entire house so they could do the work. So we had no power from about 8:45 this morning until about 4:30 this afternoon. Guess what? It's HOT here. Thankfully, the house only got up to about 83 at the hottest, but it wasn't that comfy.
We also couldn't do much cooking and didn't want to open and close the fridge too much so we could keep it cold in there. So we had to go out to lunch. We decided to try out the Hungry Owl. They just opened a new location, and were apparently featured on Man v. Food within the last couple of weeks.
All Michaela cared about was the owl on the table. This started as a hug (her new favorite thing... giving hugs to anyone and everyone). It all spiraled out of control from there.
Earlier today, I laid out butter to make cookies, and I opened the windows to enjoy the breeze and bring down the house to a comfy 60 degrees for the spoiled dog. Needless to say, my butter did not soften...
ReplyDeleteHope you cool off soon. Love the owl pic.
