Thank you!

Power is back, I'm getting food in my rumbling tummy, LOL. I'm good.

I wonder if a generator would work inside apartments. Hmm...

That "survival" thread is more appealing to me now. I have to wait until next month to ship the rest of my things from my mom's to my new apartment. My flashlight and batteries are in one of the boxes. I need a new can opener though. I realized that I'm missing a lot of things for my survival gear.

You are really sweet! Thank you 88Butterfly88!

I hope it's back on now!

power outages really suck. I remember quite a long one I had one year over christmas

didn't know what to do with myself. no tv, no computer, no music, and getting food wasn't easy either

@raging vortex

I'm sorry to hear about your fibro and sleeping difficulties. I hope you feel better.

I'm having sleeping difficulties. It's 4 a.m. and I cannot sleep. I'm tired and a little sleepy, but I will most likely fall asleep around 6 a.m. It takes me a while.

Oh yeah, btw, the power came back on hours ago. It didn't take as long as the text alert said. In fact, as soon as the text alert said 10 p.m. as the eta (which came in around 4:35 p.m.), the power turned back on at around 4:35 p.m. I thought that was a scare text alert for nothing, LOL, but I'm glad that it turned on instead of being without power for 10 hours. We only lost about 5 hours of power. I'm good now.

I'm doing Okay today. Getting ready to eat some chili. Haven't had any in a while.

Oct 20, 2019 at 04:35 PM

I haven't showered in 5 days, give or take. I've lost count. I'm tired. The power going out for about 4.5 hours yesterday didn't help.

Deilla · Oct 20, 2019 at 04:40 PM

@lillib I haven't showered in a while either. I can relate. But I have been washing up at the sink. For me that's easier than getting in the shower all the time. But tomorrow I plan to shower cause I want to go out to eat somewhere.

88Butterfly88 · Oct 20, 2019 at 05:11 PM

@raging vortex I hope the pain eases soon.

@Deilla I hope the chili is good.

@lillib I have been in the same clothes for a few days myself. I am going to get washed and dressed tomorrow morning.

Today was a decent day. I had some yummy food for my birthday. I was a little emotional at one point because I had too many thoughts in my head but overall it was a good day.

Oct 20, 2019 at 05:15 PM

@88Butterfly88

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I hope your day is filled with fun, joy, laughter, relaxation, and affirmations!

(((safe hugs)))

Deilla · Oct 20, 2019 at 05:16 PM

@88Butterfly88 glad you had a good day. And yes, my chili was really good. This week is my birthday too. I think I will try to cook something yummy to celebrate.

88Butterfly88 · Oct 20, 2019 at 05:19 PM

@lillib Thank you!

@Deilla Thank you and happy early birthday! Cooking sounds good.

@Deilla

I hope your birthday week is filled with fun, joy, laughter, relaxation, and affirmations! What day is your birthday? Will you let us know? It would be nice to wish you a happy birthday on the day of your birth.

I miss chili. I'm glad your chili was good! Yum!

I'm sorry you struggle with that, too. Thanks for helping me to not feel so alone, though I think that came out the wrong way because then we'd all be funky together. Joking (or trying to). Seriously though, your idea of washing up in the sink is a good one! In some countries, residents don't shower all the time; they take sink baths or what not, but they shower like once every few days or even once a week. Still, I want to shower every day, but I just don't have the energy. It's nice to know that there are others who understand our struggles.

@raging vortex

(((safe hugs)))

I hope you feel better! I'm so sorry you're in pain.

You have so many helpful words for so many people, including me (us), which has helped us. Even the stories for our littles really help us! I hope some of what you share is received by you, too, since you deserve to feel safe, be pain-free, and have a ton of community support (we all deserve that, in fact).

Let us know how you're doing today.

How are you today?

Also, I must have missed the answer somewhere, but you bring up a good question: "What is a dry pie?"

@raging vortex I think one of your last posts mentioned "dry pie." Can you help us figure out what that is?

PS: I suck at cooking, so I must have missed the reference. Is it an overbaked pie? Or a pie with not enough filling?

I hope both of your are doing well today.

(((safe hugs)))

Deilla · Oct 20, 2019 at 05:35 PM

@lillib thank you! My birthday is the 24th. I don't feel as old as I'm going to be lol!

downandlonely · Oct 20, 2019 at 06:12 PM

Thanks @lillib

I am doing pretty well today. I was outside in the son all day yesterday, and it is still very hot in Houston, so I wasn't feeling too good. But today I was able to stay inside with the air conditioning, so I feel better.

@downandlonely

Your outing yesterday with your son sounds like fun! I'm sorry about the heat though, but glad you were able to enjoy the comforts of a good a/c!

Happy pre-birthday! (I'll probably post again on the 24th with bigger texts and some emoticons. Hee hee, I'm trying to make good use of all the tools on PC.)

My daughter's birthday is a day ahead of yours, on the 23rd. I don't have money for a gift yet, but I spoke with the adoptive mom and plan on sending her a gift and a card next month, when I do have money. I feel so bad. I wanted to send her something on her 17th b-day right on the day of her birth. My relocation out of state took most of my money, so I feel bad for not having the means to celebrate in time. I hope she isn't too upset.

Ooops, I said "son" but meant "sun" lol

I actually don't have a son (unless you count my boy cat)
