Our power has been out since Sunday. The latest update is that power will be restored by 11 pm tonight. Thank goodness for the standby generator.
SIL arrives in Cleveland at 2:45 pm today. I put together a "swag bag" for her with some treats for her and her cat.
They started painting the house yesterday. None of it is within my view as yet.
Breakfast - None
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Stuffed shells, zucchini, carrots, banana
Dessert/Snack - Nuts
Dinner - PB&J sandwich, chips, cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

I'm sorry about the internet. I always run into slow response time when I go on MyLot.

Pretty bought some chicken and parmesan and cooked it yesterday. That's what I ate around 5 pm. I skipped breakfast and had a slice of bread for supper last night. The chicken and parmesan didn't sit well for me. I told Pretty she could eat the rest of it.
I'm glad they should have the power restored for you tonight, hopefully.

@LindaOHio I'm glad your power is back on now. Hopefully it won't go off again anytime soon.
We spent the day at the dentist's office yesterday. We took the medical taxi to Springfield and it was just us and the driver going up there but it was several other people and the drive coming home. We were the last ones dropped off and were exhausted by the time we got home. We went to bed and I just woke up at 5 am this morning. We got home last night after 6 pm...
I do feel better this morning but my right eye bled again during the night. We should see our regular doctor this morning and see that she thinks about the eye bleeding at night. We think it's the hydrocephalus raising my BP and causing a small blood vessel in my eye to rupture. Of course, we don't know for sure.

That's a long time to be without power and you are lucky for your generator. I feel bad for those people who are stuck until the power comes back on.
I like the colors you picked for the house and hope they reach a part where you can see it. Thankfully they started the job.
I got a bag of cherries this week and they weren't as sweet as the last time I bought them. I usually have fruit with my breakfast so I was disappointed with this batch. This week I'll be back to getting my grapes and a cantaloupe.

@LindaOHio glad your SIL arrived and gave you the low-down on the paint. It will probably be a bit darker once the second coat is done.
Enjoy having her there for company

@Marilynda1225 She emptied out my husband's closet full of shirts and we watched a couple of movies yesterday.

Yes, people without a generator probably lost food in their fridges and freezers.
SIL said the paint looks really pale; but it's only had one coat. Hopefully it will have more color after the second coat.

There were severe storms in the area. I saw a video of cloud rotation in the county next to me. Scary but amazing.

Power outs are annoying as hell. I wish I had a main source generator, but all I have is a dinky one. I can run the TV, a fan and a light and that's about it. Don't dare try to plug the coffee pot into the damn thing. It alone will break the circuit.
For dinner we had hamburgers on the grill with mac and cheese and green beans on the side. Nothing fancy. We didn't have actual buns so we just toasted some bread and used that.

Maybe you need to bite the bullet and get a standby generator.

@LindaOHio Perhaps one day. Luckily we don't get many power outs. But when we do, they can be doozies.

I’m very thankful you have a generator, too! I don’t. When my power went out for a day and a half in 2024 (in March, so it was cold), I drove up to the Cincinnati area and stayed at a hotel.
Yesterday was Sonny’s chicken & potato for lunch, and chicken marinara with veggies and pasta (Lean Cuisine) and watermelon for dinner. And a fiber bar!!
