It Is Undoubtedly The Future

Still okay. Still no power or heat at the apartment. Water, yes, gas, yes, but they haven't turned the power back on. I'm guessing they have to have the basement pass inspection first; there were workmen ripping stuff out of the basement when I got home yesterday and an unbelievable amount of stuff stacked at the kerb today when I got up. I would not mind this so much if it weren't for the fact that every other apartment building on the block has power. Please please please please please, landlord, PSE&G, please, finish whatever you have to do to get my building back up on its feet.

I'm waiting for my devices to recharge before going out in search of a laundromat that works.

I emptied the fridge out the other day, finally. should I be worried that several sticks of butter were in exactly the same condition they would have been had it been an operational fridge?

Oh, and I have to say- my experiment in no-shampoo work turned out to be useful. It's far easier to clean your hair with baking soda solution and rinse it with vinegar solution fresh from the stove top than it is to get up a head of lather with shampoo and water from the stove. So at least my hair is clean, and I can get some sponge bathing in.

98% on the laptop, 96% on the phone. should be able to head out soon.

hope the rest of you are doing okay.

Still doing okay. Still no power at my apartment. Spent most of last night making apple slab, so heat was not as much of an issue as it might have been. PSE&G is getting closer to my block in terms of power restoration. It would be nice if the power were on when I got home tonight, but I'm not optimistic about that. I'll be heating up water on the stove for a good wash. In the meantime I can vouch for the fact that Power Shower Wipes work really well as a between-wash substitute for those mornings when it's too damn cold to try anything else.

... yeah, I know, gross, but c'mon. Cold shower in a cold apartment in November. You'd probably only wanna take chances on that every other day too.

May make some kind of cookies tonight. Or something, anyway. Anything that involves using the stove so it'll be warm. Who knows, maybe I'll get enough brain together to start RPing again.

More later.
