Hey everyone…it’s been one of those weeks. Power’s on. Power’s out. But I was expecting this and we stopped at the Home Despot and picked up a generator on Monday, so we can still have internet and lights when the power goes out (makes all the difference in the world). There are so many downed trees (including the one we came home to in our yard blocking the path to the house) that PG&E simply said “expect to be without power for an extended period of time” last night instead of their usually more positive “Your power should be restored between 2pm and 8pm”…yes, don’t call back for six hours is their usual response, but this week it was, “Don’t even bother calling.”

That said, power returned a little while ago, then went out again, and now it’s back.
