Power still off

Our electricity still hasn't been restored. I was hoping the outage would be brief but I can only assume that our area is lower on the priority list than many others in the greater DC area.

It didn't help a lot... it was probably the most uncomfortable sleep I've had in months. I considered taking the day off or attempting to work from home just so I could restart/reprogram appliances the moment the power came back, but decided that there's nothing to do but mope in the interim. There's no guarantee the power would be restored today in any case.
