Monday night at 6. You can see the clock in the picture of Megan with the fridge. I noticed the neighbors across the street had power, so my dad went to the basement to unplug the generator. Trevor and Amy had arrived for our dinner, so he went down to help. I turned the kitchen light on so we’d be able to see it turn on. They turned off the generator and the house went black, then power came back. When we saw the kitchen light go on, we all cheered.

11 days later and we got power back.
I finally saw a Unitil (our power company) truck on Tuesday, day 12. It was getting gas. I hadn’t seen one at all the entire time, and when I finally see one, they aren’t even working. HA!

Tuesday Megan and I went into Boston because I had two doctor appointments at Mass General with my thyroid doctor. I had my 6 month post radiation ultra sound. It came back negative, which is good. My blood work will be back next week. He thinks my levels are too high which is why I’m hungry all the time. He said young people tend to eat more with a high level, thus can gain weight. Most people think “hyperthyroid” means being skinny (high metabolism) but the high metabolism makes Hypers super hungry, so we eat more and actually gain weight. That blows. If I had better self control, maybe I wouldn’t have a problem.
After my appointments, we went out shopping for gifts and groceries. Megan will only eat meat if it’s humane. Meaning free range. So we had to find free range chicken for our chicken pot pie tonight, and a free range turkey for tomorrow. Quite the adventure. We went to two Whole Foods and one Trader Joe’s. Megan was disappointed with TJs, but very very impressed with WF. We both got a yummy dinner at WF and we even brought home our plastic containers to reuse them. That’s a picture of Megan boxing everything up to take home.

We didn’t get a bag at WF even though we forgot to bring our Chico Bag. I had grapefruits and brie in my purse, and we carried the cider and turkey by hand. We are trying very hard to be Eco friendly!

That’s all for now. We still don’t have cable or Internet, so I have to do all my updates via iPhone. It takes forever! And I’m sure there are errors I haven’t caught.
When we do get Internet, I’ll be sure to update. I’ve been taking nice pictures on my phone of various things. Sorry I can’t put the pictures where they go, this app just places them at the bottom.
