Empowered
Our power finally came back on yesterday, thank god. Being without a home for 4 days really makes you appreciate having one. Ariel and I made a daily trip back to the house to check on the power situation, but other than that, it was so cold that we had to find other places to be all day. So….what does one do for 4 days without power? Well, other than a few emotionally shaky moments where we just wanted to go home, damit! it was actually nice to be out and about. I made it to yoga twice, we had breakfast, lunches, and dinners with folks, went to see a friend’s comic book show/ book signing, tried to go to see Dina Martina (alas, it was sold out), got some Christmas shopping done, and got to have sleepovers at friend’s houses. Not a bad way to spend a couple of homeless days.
Also, the big news this weekend was that our friends Damon and Julia had a new baby! Cedar Kiley was born on Thursday during the crazy storm, confirming our suspicions that Cedar is actually the prince of darkness come to wreak havoc on the greater Seattle metropolitan area. A damn cute prince of darkness he is though.
