Our electricity went out around 6:00 this evening, and was out for a bit over an hour. I used my keychain flashlight to find the big camping lantern, called Eversource to report the problem, and then we used the lamplight to play Scrabble.
When the power came back, I made a mug of tea (which I had been about to make when the lights went out), and some iced tea. During the outage three weeks ago, we decided to get a better flashlight—which we have—and I thought about keeping iced tea in the house, but hadn't done so. I may wind up throwing this out and making another batch, but I get grumpy (and less functional) without my caffeine, and tea bags are relatively cheap.
We had dinner, and then I loaded the dishwasher and tried to run hot water before turning it on. We have no hot water; the radiators are cold, but it's warm enough in here right now that I don't know whether the heating system is running. I called the building management company (or, it being Sunday night, their answering service) and reported the problem. I just checked, and we lost heat and hot water after the outage three weeks ago; that time they said they needed parts.
