Back up

Everything is finally returned to normal. Yays.

The massive storm that ripped through the area took out power on Friday. Our house had electricity and air conditioning back by Sunday, with help from our generator on Saturday. The cable company just now got us back up. Which is lovely, because updating a blog from my smart phone sometimes hurts my hands. No immediate damage to our neighborhood beyond some downed trees and wires. We got lucky.

Also, nothing else is new. Amazing how little I missed the internet when I didn't have it.

Glad you're okay! I've been worrying. A friend in Silver Spring ended up losing the bathroom to her place when a tree fell on it. Lots of dodged bullets. Thank gods.

Oh, FUCK, that ain't good. Silver Spring did get hit rather hard. My friends got a tree on their Mustang; luckily only the back windshield was broken. Other houses had trees fall on or through entirely.

Yeah, my friend got lucky. I think I win the horrible person award though - I don't know if there was any damage to my grandparents' place >.

Aww, that's not horrible. Sometimes we (okay, I) forget all about these things...
