Windpocalypse Aftermath: Monday

This was our fourth day of power outage. We are starting to show signs of fatigue.

Going to work was better than staying at home, of course. We had learned the night before that our health club got their power back and was open for business. We got up early and headed straight there to get cleaned up. Oh! That hot water felt so delicious. I could have stayed in the shower all day.

I headed for work. It was hard to get much done. A good number of people had come in, but several of them were still without power. Poeple from remote towns (on PSE's network) like Duvall and Woodinville were not expecting power until the end of the week. Some folks who had plans for X'mas travel were talking about taking off early.

We patronized BIG TIME pizza in Redmond for lunch. They have decent unassuming food - can go there any time for a casual meal.

The workday had to end early as we had to start preparing for another cold night. We were running seriously low on firewood by this time. Unless the power got restored by Tuesday, we were going to be in trouble unless shops replenished their stocks of wood. Before heading home, we stopped by the Wine and Spirit Store off Redmond way to pick up some brandy, which turned out to be such a lifesaver.
