Stumbling in the dark.

We stopped at (the old) home on the way to our rental to bring some more stuff to the new house. Imagine our surprise when we found out we didn't have electricity! It's amazing the things you need electricity for... running the reefer, the sprinklers. Oh yeah, and the lights. We had to clean out our fridges and freezers in a hurry. We thought about tossing some of the old stuff down the garbage disposal. But wait! We don't have electricity! So we brought all the stuff in the refrigerator to the new house to sort through and toss out.

Hopefully this is a temporary glitch, as otherwise, no more automatic sprinklers, which means more expense to replace the landscaping when this whole project is done. I think it would be ironic if the very trees the city insists that we put fencing around to protect die because we can't water them (because we don't have electricity).
