Wow! All that damage and your power is still out, that's just crazy. But you've done it again - you have taken it all in your stride, kept up your workouts and just gotten it done. I had to laugh at your stair workout by "lamp light"! LOL. Happy Anniversary again and so pleased to see Max's progress. Crossing all fingers and toes that power is soon restored.

I hope they can get your power restored soon. We had a derecho come through back in ~2010, but we weren't at home. We were in CT for a funeral, but our sons were both home and called us to tell us about it. We had a lot of debris in our back yard, but didn't lose any trees. The power and phone lines are all buried so luckily we didn't have any power issues.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-80864049434322384902020-08-16T18:39:49.567-05:002020-08-16T18:39:49.567-05:00This is just crazy for you all!

I ran to a friend's house today, 3.5 miles there, 3.5 back and when I got home I was literally dripping with sweat, even though Strava said it was less humid coming back than going out. Ewwww. Hope you continue to get everything sorted out and power back on permanently.
