I have the power

Nine days. Nine fucking days without electricity. I got it back yesterday at 4:12 pm. Cable's still out, but that's why I have DVD's.

Night before last, I cleaned out the fridge. Sweet zombie Jesus, was it nasty. Having to clean it by candlelight wasn't much of a treat, either. At one point, I actually wondered, "When did I have rice in my refrigerator, and why are all of the grains moving?", but that may have been the bleach fumes directing that train of thought.

So now, I have all my laundry caught up, I have power, and everything is almost back to normal... until the next ice storm.
