Post-Hurricane

Hi all,

I have a few posts in the works but Sandy has thrown me for a bit of a loop.  We spent seven hours yesterday without power, but seeing the devastation in the mid-Atlantic coastal towns has me feeling tremendously lucky.  Our house is not underwater and as of this morning, our power is up and running.

But…we had a large pine tree fall on our power lines yesterday and it’s currently pinning them to the ground.  They’re running electricity into the house but we will have to shut things down at some point in order to remove the tree, then hire an electrician to reattach the whole shebang to the house, and finally, have the electric company come and deal with their wires.

I hope I’ll be able to keep up with posting the rest of this week but I don’t really know what we’re in for.  It will probably be expensive and it will certainly be a pain in the neck, but I’m thankful that all I’m dealing with is inconvenience and not the complete loss of my home.

I do hope you’re all faring well.
