I haven't updated here. But as of today, we are still out of power for more than 24 hours. As of typing this, according to my neighbor, the electric company is working on the transformer and I'm really hoping that it will work out this time. We need to get out of the house and go to the condo. The kids ' eczema flared up because of the heat. We lack sleep, that's not good. The powerstation and powerbank helped but it cannot withstand more than 24 hours no power. I have to go back and fourth to an area around 15 minutes walk to asked if I can charged it there. I'm thankful they allowed me but of course I cannot fully recharge it since we need it badly. It's so exhausting. This afternoon, I succumbed to sleep. Now I feel all my limbs are aching terribly.

That is just wrong, with the heat you have in your place you need to run your fans- I am so sorry you have this problem.

@rakski - We also have a heatwave, but opening the windows at night is enough to keep the apartment cool.

@LadyDuck that is so nice. Opening the windows here meaning welcoming the bugs

I really hope your power will be back on soon. It must be awful when it's so hot.

Don't they offer cooling centers there? Not sure how you live that way honestly. It's sad

Oh my goodness. That's horrible. I'm really sorry that you've been without power for so long. Hopefully it does come back on soon.

Oh my goodness, I am so incredibly sorry you are going through this absolute nightmare! Going without power for over 24 hours is completely draining, and trudging back and forth with heavy power banks just to scrape together a charge is exhausting enough—let alone on top of caring for little ones!

24 hours without power in all that heat will really make you sick and miserable. I hope they get it fixed soon so you can get some relief.
