I'm an aunt!

My brother and his wife have a baby girl :) I get to see her next week!

Electricity

You may have heard about the big wind storm in my area. We lost power at our apartment early Friday morning and didn't get it back till the following Thurs. Morning. It was not fun. The first few days were ok. Stayed at my boyfriends house - he lives with his aunt and they had a warm fire place. His cousin and husband and Donoven and I slept in the living room where the fire place was. Was livable for a while. Fortunately another cousin of Donovens still had power and let us come over and take showers and charge our phones. I need to get a car charger for my new phone still. Donoven got power back at his place before me so that was nice even though I didn't have power at least I could stay where there was some and it was warm. I don't like living in an area where the power company services so many people there were more than a million out of power. The worst thing was the people that died due to carbon monoxide poisoning - mostly immigrants that didn't speak or read English well so they didn't know the dangers of using generators or charcoal grills inside. But now people have power back except for a few that evidently need repairs made to their houses not the powerlines coming in.
