At any rate, yesterday things seem to have settled out by late afternoon. Something also went haywire with the Internet. It was probably driven crazy by the beeping and ran back down the LAN line as soon as it entered our house. I did, however, smartly write down the phone number for my evening conference call back to the States. (How embarrassing when you miss a call cuz your Internet went out and you didn't write down the number previously delivered via email so you could use your cell!)
We had spent the early evening making noodles - that's for another post. Silly us, we didn't realize we were frivolously wasting our power. My talented husband agreed to cook so I could spend some face time with the wee one. And alas, the power went back out. Only now it was getting dark. And we were using the stove. And there isn't a single thing we can eat in this house that doesn't require power to be edible, with the exception of PB&J (not that good...how I dream of soft, American store-bought bread!) or cereal.
So we set the dining room table with candles, silverware, place mats, and cereal boxes. The kiddo was thrilled. The grownups were hungry. We did get the juice back later in the evening, and had a late dinner sans child. She had homemade noodles for breakfast today.
