Well, what a week so far. Yesterday could only be called: classic.
The power company trucks were in our driveway pretty much all day. But they did their digging and got the underground repair made, so by 5 pm or so we were back on full power.
However, the cable (TV, phone, internet) never came back. They're sending a technician out today to find the problem. So in the meantime, I'm still using my phone as a hotspot in order to be online, either on the iPad or the Mac. It's a slow-ish connection, and heavy duty stuff like video doesn't do well, but having it makes all the difference.
