~Got Power Back~

You saw the time I posted yesterday and I did that
because of the electric company guy telling me that
I would be with out power for at least 4 or 5 hours
if not longer.. This was at 9:30... I shut my computer
down and just sat around and I did crochet a little.
I was totally bored.. I didn't think to check to see
if I had electricity.. :-) but I just sat here...!
Well along or about 2:30 yesterday afternoon I hear
a knock on my front door, even though there IS a
doorbell... I open the door to see another electric
company guy standing there... He says, "M'am, we are
gonna shut the power off in a few minutes, but it will
only be off for a half hour or so while we replace
that transformer on the pole out there." I looked at
him like he was NUTS!....

I said "WHAT?, a guy was here at 9:30 told me this
same thing and that my power was OFF and would be
most of the day!".. I was MAD!.. ALL these hours and
I had power and didn't know it? I thanked him and
he left.. In about 10 minutes the power DID go off,
and I would say about 45 minutes later it came back
on...

I sat from 9:30 in the morning till 2:30 in the after
noon without power I THOUGHT.. I wasn't SMART
enough to check to see if anything was running.. My
furnace and fridge are so quiet when they run I don't
hear them anyway!! I admit it.. I did a STUPID... :-)
I should have checked and I didn't... oh well.... I did
get a pot holder made :-)

Today is a rainy ickky day and I just told Penny that
I ache so bad.. My hips and butt and these 2 stumps
are giving me a bad way to go.. If these legs werent
already cut off, as bad as they ache today I would
probly cut them off my self.. They are giving me fits.
I hope its a better day tomorrow..

Time for lunch, what, I don't know, I told Penny to
surprise me.. She said "SURPRISE- NO LUNCH!!!"
That WAS a surprise.. :-) Post time and for this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE to warn ya, "I shall return!"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you Friend..
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again....

    here in nyc the power lines are under ground in the street. When a transformer goes - it will steam or smoke and then booom!! A steel manhole cover will fly though the air. The fire dept comes. and you do not want to be a spectator in case another manhole cover sails through the air.

    Hi, Honey,
    Never mind, Honey, you got a couple of great pics for me to show Alfie (9) when the Scallywags come down in the summer!! Alfie was the youngest (and smallest!) lead in Bugsy Malone at the local Am. Dram. Society show. They got standing ovations every evening for five shows, which is pretty good for kids!!
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hi Momar,
    Yes, I saw that once on tv about NYC having a whole other city under ground, like Houston... Bet that would hurt getting hit with one of those things!! :-)
