weekend in review

[anotheranon]

Spent most of Saturday evening reveling in our restored electricity (and wondering why, oh why, does Chow Yun Fat waste his time on throw-aways like "Bulletproof Monk"?). There was also much resetting of clocks, checking of email, and restoration of air conditioning (to D./Spice's great relief!)

Most of Sunday was spent cleaning up from the repercussions of having no electricity. D. (voluntarily!) cleaned out the fridge (and the freezer, with some prodding :P). We had to throw out almost everything, including condiments, but the inside of the fridge is now immaculate - my doG, you could almost store food in there!

I went to the grocery to restock, and cleaned out our bathroom. I also started the laundry - like I said, it's amazing what you don't appreciate until it's gone. I don't ever want to endure life without an electric washer/dryer set; I just really don't favor pounding my clothes on a rock in the Potomac (eww!)!

Thank yous to hadesgirl for checking in on us - I didn't get your messages until today (I'm bad about checking phone messages - got to work on that :P).

I hope all of y'all have recovered, finally.
