Why is this man smiling? Because power to the house was restored at 5:00 am this morning. I awoke with a start when the hall light came on and the ceiling fan started spinning. I was like a child on Xmas morning running around the house declaring that Santa had been here.
I was shouting “Power! We have power!” which startled and confused the crap out of Cynthia who was sleeping soundly.
Earlier yesterday evening I had borrowed a generator from a neighbor who had his power restored the other day and had hooked up the TV and enjoyed some quality time with my TV and a box fan. I was not extremely confident in the generator so I turned it off prior to going to bed as I imagined how horrible it would be to burn the house down after making it this far.
Dooley was in much better spirits this morning, greeting us by repeating “Good Morning” and “I Love You” over and over.
If you had told me we’d be without power for six and a half days I wouldn’t have believed you. And I certainly didn’t think I could go that long in the Houston heat. The cool front was a blessing, but it still wore very thin. Once the power came on and the initial rush of joy passed I began to sag quite a bit. I’m still very tired and this load off my mind has allowed the fatigue to come to the surface.
Yes, I shaved the “Ike Beard.” That was my agreement with the universe.

This guy is VERY skittish and he doesn’t tend to hang around for very long.
Fortunately his call is loud and quite distinctive so when he is in the yard, you know it. I just happned to have the camera ready when I heard him this evening and was able to fire off a few shots before he dashed off.
Through the kitchen window with the SAL-135F18Z. Not too shabby.
