This morning the power went out just before 8am. The coffee pot comes on at 7 so at least we had caffeine and there was plenty of hot water left in the tank for showering. After I dressed I came upstairs to the kitchen and chopped up fruit (whole pineapples were on sale in Northmart for $7) for a healthy breakfast. Blaine fired up the generator to iron his shirt. For real. I drove to work hoping that the issue was city wide but alas it was not. The power corp is replacing the poles (our electricity comes along above ground wires like phone lines) so I guess they were working in our area. Everything was back on by lunchtime and it was another successful test of our household resiliency and preparedness. Go team wiggins!
