Hey Sweetie,
Woke up and there was still no electric, which was a little surprising. What's more surprising is that I'm ready for bed and there's STILL no power! Patsy and Larry were supposed to leave at 9:00 to drive to Long Island for a memorial for her parents, and Larry had decided he needed to stay here, but Patsy managed to persuade him to go with her, which was the original plan. I think we were all expecting that power would be restored quickly, but so far, it hasn't. After they left, I had a pretty quiet day, working on my computer trying to sort out my schedule. I updated my calendar on the website and spoke to several people about the next few weeks, so I managed to get some things confirmed. I'm definitely going back to the Biltmore in September, the trailmaster there was very complimentary about my "deep trail skills," and I also firmed up several other things in my schedule. Finally ended the day with a lovely dinner featuring the beef and veg pot pie I bought at the farmers market on Wednesday, which was lovely. The crust was spectacular, and the inside was typically bland British, but I managed to spice it up a bit. Still, a nice treat! I'm going to have to set my alarm to refill the propane tank after midnight tonight, if we don't get power by then, though the power outage map is indicating completion by 11:00 pm, though I'm losing hope that that will happen. Weather was beautiful, but I didn't get out in it much except to walk the dogs, let out the cat, feed the horses and put more gas in the generator. Enjoyed a bottle of wine with my delicious dinner, and hoping I have enough water for a shower tonight. Not sure what I'll do if the power isn't back on by morning! May have to take a trip over the Larry's sister's house and put some water in my freshly cleaned truck water tank! At least I'm self sufficient, one of the great advantages to living off the grid. Anyway, ready for shower and bed, fingers crossed we get electric back before I have to fill up the generator again, but we'll do whatever needs must! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
