I am in Houston and have been without power since Sept 17th - my parents have been without power since Sept 12th - post Hurricane Ike.
I wonder when we will get power back - the home is in an area which has the worst power restoration. We will have to wait and see if we get power back tomorrow
Let me see I had to have minor surgery today - My dad cut open my right ring finger because I had a finger felon - a bad infection in my finger. There was some green puss and all but I cleared it but to be safe and since there was still pain and heat from the finger we operated. We made two incisions either side to the bone - once it was numb - but it is doing alright - on pain meds when the throbbing and pain comes back
We will hope this clears the infection - I dont want to lose the finger / which is what might have happened if we hadnt started the antibiotics or anything else
Let me see - There are NO GROCEREY stores open - in my local vicinity - really quite concerned - NO POWER - no stores - I will have to shop at COSTCO soon - but I am sure it will hopefully be soon before I realize this is all over
The issue now I dont know - I am applying for jobs - have applied for a position at bristol for a fixed term. IN sociology - I think I might have some opprotunity it involves gender studies which I know is one of my favorites.
I will hope and wish for power tomorrow - since it is getting really bad and annoying without power - the heat is coming back and the US stock market is going to shit - but I will be leaving wednesday at 2:30 to Oklahoma for my brother's birthday and I am quite excited - AC and all and he is getting sworn in - so I am sure it will be nice.
Well that is my update - will weigh and track food as we continue - it looks like the phone may have come back in permanently - but I could be wrong - if so we dont have power but the generator provides phone and internet.
Myke
