the wait is over
Yay! I woke up at 3:52 AM when the lights and the air conditioner popped on; the power was back!
The power was out for 37 hours. I feel very lucky; the weather wasn't too bad from a heat standpoint, and there are still areas around me without power. Not having power makes me realize how much it affects everyday life. I'm glad it's back.![goldenrod, Parker River National Wildlife Refuge goldenrod, Parker River National Wildlife Refuge](https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoor-beauty/Parker-River-and-2023/i-FgcrN8w/0/d9a41a6f/M/202309_XT4_2081-M.jpg)
