The power came back on, but we don't trust that it will stay that way.
When it came on, this is what happened:
Me: SOMEONE FILL THE TUB SO THAT WE HAVE WATER TO FLUSH THE TOILETS
Mom: I'M DOING IT. EVERYONE GO TO THE BATHROOM AND FLUSH!
Me: I'M STARTING SOME WATER FOR TEA
Lil' Bro: I'M STARTING THE COOKIES IN THE OVEN!
Mom (running back downstairs): DID SOMEONE START THE TEA WATER?
Me: YES! AND I'M DOWNLOADING MERLIN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After that we more calmly filled a few glasses with water. And now we are enjoying the power while it lasts.
I'm hoping at least another minute and 40 seconds. COME ON, MERLIN!!!
[Meanwhile, Dad is calling from a different hemisphere to make sure that we have the generator attached to the very large and very full freezer. And no one in the house really cares. :-P]
EDIT: We have Merlin. And enough laptop power to watch it. WOOT!
