we are at home

we are at home today. we came home last night after fantasy football rivals, and real life friends loaned us their generator and portable air conditioning unit! it is awesome! i will try to take pics later and attach them to my next blog. we did get an update from centerpoint energy last night, a new map shows our zip code should have power thursday sept 25, almost 2 weeks after it went out. we are hoping it comes in before then, but at least we are living with a fan, TV, and directtv. we are also able to charge our laptops and have internet access thanks to at & t getting the phones working yesterday.

this is the map. we are the dark turquoise, so that is thursday, our zip is 77018. we are hoping for before thursday but with the generator, tv and the portable air conditioning unit we are doing ok. just hoping the temps dont get as high as they are projecting.

i will update as i receive more information. i applied for FEMA assistance to see if they will reimburse for a generator, although we have borrowed one now, so we are ok if they say no. they DO NOT answer their phones! gervin and chica are doing great, it is amazing how much they are just rolling with the punches, although they definitely enjoyed their time with brenda!

thanks to everyone who has helped us, the refugees out. we have definitely been around since losing our power a week ago.
