Hey guys, figured now I had limited access to power I owed you at least another update on how things are in this little corner of the world?

Power's still fritzing, but it's being returned in stages, priority places first, although we're hopeful that everything should be back to normal in time for Turkey Day, or at least stores hope that for the day after, lol

And no, no, I will not be going to Black Friday sales, I still remember what happened with the hip spica and all... Yeesh.

Me?

I've been kept out of trouble, lol, although our house has been kind of turned into a hub of activity

Pros for having a wife who's a Nurse in times of crisis?
The emergency folk dig you out first so they can get her to the hospital where she's needed

Cons for having a wife who's a Nurse in times of crisis?
She's at the hospital where she's needed

Ehhh, I can sleep a few lonely nights knowing Jeri'll be back, managed to speak to her once or twice and heard she's tired and aching but surviving, just can't wait until she's home and we can just, well, be together and all

But yeah, we've had a few folks over and tried to share the house to collect supplies and such, and just generally not go stark raving mad with Cabin Fever, which I'll admit I near hit when this happened:

"Okay! Power's out! No TV, no distractions, let's buckle down and do these commissions."
*Plops down*
"Paper, pencils, few remaining hours of dim daylight? Check, check and check... Now, refs..."
*Stares at blank computer screen*
"Huh. Did NOT think this through..."

So, after turning paper into confetti and chewing the resulting mash for nutrients I reconciled myself with the fact I was decidedly NOT getting any work done, lol

Did pass the time with paper books and comics - thank lord I buy Transformers in hardback form - and tinkered with cards, even had a candle-lit FNM action going, where I made many an enemy with a mono-black EDH deck (Although, yeah, maybe Sudden Spoiling + Black Sun's Zenith was a tad too much...)

Then yesterday offered an opportunity, work was open, so I hitched a ride in, sat down in the office, and with the argument I needed my iPhone/iPad as work tools, got to have them charged up!

So, here we go, second day, just have to take my fill and ration it out until power properly returns I guess (Why did I have to learn of the existence of Poppy O'Possum before the power went out?! I wanna read more...)

So, yeah, that's about it, nothing to report on my side health wise other than having to wear like two socks over my casted foot to keep my toes from freezing off, lol, I've been good and not got in any other bother.

...

Although it would give me an excuse to to see Jeri again...

Hmm.

See you soon folks!
