I hate power outages!

It's Thursday, though it feels like it should be Friday!  As I went to bed Wednesday night the winds were still gusting pretty fiercely.  But, they had greatly diminished from what they had been.  We kept our power all day long so I really didn't think much of losing it at this point.  D had left for the gym and I had gone to bed.  I was awoke by him asking when the power went out.  UGH!  You have got to be kidding me!

I didn't sleep well and had planned on sleeping soundly until 6:30 since today was to be a total rest day.  FAT chance for that.  I tossed and turned for hours.  I hate having to throw all the food away I just purchased, since it happened in the summer too.

Finally got out of bed at 6:15.  Showered off and dressed quickly as it was already getting colder in the house.  I fed the dogs and gave D his cereal to eat, he wasn't happy since he was cold and it was cold.  I made a shake, since I had to drink that anyway.  Made me nauseous.  I also grabbed a few bites of the chicken that I had just made. Mostly gave to the pups since they were begging.  I was dreading the whole day since I knew work had half power, which meant computers, phones, some light and ZERO heat.  Ugh!  I grabbed what was left of my coconut chips and headed out.

Once at work I grabbed some hot water and kept my coat on and went to work.  I was grumpy and anxious.  Everyone wanted to order breakfast.  My favorite meal and it was a no go, I opted for a side of bacon :(  It was good but for $5 I could have got a huge breakfast.  Unfortunately, it didn't arrive till almost 12!  What?!  I ate it up and headed back to the house to see what was going on.

And what was?  Nothing!  My app told me workers were in the area and there were none to be found.  D was home to shower, since he didn't earlier.  We let the pups out.  He grabbed a yogurt and a protein bar and I grabbed a Primal Beef Stick.  Seriously it just sucked food wise, but I couldn't cooked anything.  I searched for a hotel while D was getting ready.  I knew we wouldn't have power and may have to stay somewhere all weekend.

I went back to work a little late and finished up my day, again being productive.  I rushed home to get things together to get to the hotel.  It gets dark quick when you can't turn on a light.  I fed the pups and packed my bag.  D got home and got his stuff together.  We headed to Mt. Chalet which is right across the street for bunless burgers.  We walked back home, pet Kaat, grabbed the pups and headed to the hotel.  We found a good place with a larger bed then the last time this happened.

The Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham was a great option.  Not too far from the house, just over 5 minutes and close to the gym as well.  They have one here but something familiar is better.  I hope breakfast has some good options.  I know I will be very limited, but I have an avocado at home with my name on it just in case!

Well it's bed time, early but I'm getting up early too and I want some rest.  Another long day tomorrow.
