Woke up to a storm and a 5:00 a.m. power failure. No hot cocoa for you!
I finished a hat project and promptly put it on my head because it was getting pretty cold.
Michelle headed out to pick up some takeout for lunch and just before she got home the lights flipped back on. Yay. Quick, do all the things. First was to zap ourselves that hot cocoa. Everything seemed to be working fine, no power surge effect or anything.
I had just enough time to start a load of laundry when it went out again for another two hours or so.
My double oven is now giving us garlands of light for the full holiday spirit–every zero and every error message all at once.
Bosch can only tell us to turn the breaker off for thirty seconds. (And hope.) It should be as simple as that.
We’d had a chilly day and somehow nobody felt like standing in the cold rain to try that out yet.
I really do need to find some kind of battery operable heater thing for our morning mugs. But man, it feels good to have the power back.

I am never so grateful for modern technology as when the heat comes back on after a power outage in December! Yay for better living through technology!
