A dee freeze of Long, long Winter, has given to 2 90* days in the Spring, not cold wet Summer. I didn't even open the pool. We have had so much rain, the streams are running so high.
Yesterday for the July fourth it rained and was damp and cold. Four weekends in a row.

Today will be a promise of 80* I hope it warms up here in the mountains.

Hi,

I just got internet back, after a two-and-a-half-hour power outage!

Also just got fans back, and remember, our home has no air-conditioning. Right now at ~1 am, it is in the 80's.

I also had a big bowl of ice-cream to celebrate being able to open the fridge/freezer again.


I missed the internet as much as the fan... ... I am always plugged in.

Please pray for decent weather, we are supposed to get rain.

But the next three days are big for Derrick's summer. Two days Tuesday and
THursday he volunteers at Ski Camp, usually in the crafts tent.

And Wednesday he is a camper, this is the only day he definitely has to
have someone with him. Its required for campers too.

Waves,

Very glad that you are back and got to have your ice cream.

That stuff is so disorientating to me. I do what I can to stay out of panic mode.

. . . . the failure in the expectation of being connected to the civilized parts of society (freezer, internet, fan) . . . . that makes me feel lost/ abandoned/ disconnected/all but fearful.

Either way I would feel inconvenienced, but being told a head of time would help me feel that the word I depend upon will be back . . . .it is just not available to me at the moment. Thus I can be patient instead of a freakout.

===
Years ago -- the first night in a brand new appt with a roommate --
the t.v. announced a "boil water alert" in our new neighborhood due to a mess up in local pumping station, , , . . .(whatever).

I did not see myself "BOILING" water ( ) so I drove to a late night convenience store to buy a car-full of diet soda, club soda, orange juice, --- whatever liquid the store had.

My roommate thought I was nuts to go out in the late-ish evening for something that would be settled by the a.m. BUT what if I wanted more water than we already had in the place?

(Maybe I am revealing how whiny I am.)

I always make sure I have water when a boil order, or the town is turning
off water for a few hours. I don't like to boil.
