2 hours NO Power!!!

Tag: power out

I spent most of yesterday in the kitchen cooking up the  tons of tomato's and decided to make my mom's "Pizza soup recipe" .  I'll be heading back to NY this Sunday to start packing up the house so I wanted to make sure my honey had enough to eat while I was gone. Steaming and pressing through the strainer for hours..........cooked it all up, made the "dumplings", sat down to let it cook a little longer, listened to the thunder pounding in the background, my little Lhasa under foot scared to death....................well.
.........apparently used the wrong flour because the "dumplings" sucked up all the soup and I had these massive fluffy and chubby but tasty balls of "bread".

A little after 6:30 pm BF comes home from work. I had just went out to the garden to pick some more blueberries when the thunder started again, then the tiny raindrops then pouring cats and dogs!! Within seconds the power went out and stayed out for a little over 2 hours.  I thought I would climb the walls!!  It seems like almost every day the power will flicker here and there and that's ok by me as long as I can still run the water, take a shower when I want or use the "facilities". BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......now I was stranded!  BF decides to take a little nap while I was antsy and anxious and annoyed.  The animals were driving me crazy especially my Lhasa. All day long she drove me nuts under foot everywhere I went. I swear she can hear the thunder at least a half hour before I hear it!

I drove the BF crazy annoying him with my little flashlight. I kept shining it in his eyes. Why? Because I am use to living in civilization where stuff like this is fixed in minutes not hours!!

I guess I have a lot to adjust to.
