I just got my internet back...
My power was restored during the day, and I had a rather productive day doing things that don't require being plugged in. Refreshing. I also took a nap.
My office is still closed, as lower Manhattan remains without power, so I shall attempt to do what I can from home. Our server and systems are still down, so I don't have much access to the files I need. Still, phone calls can be placed.
I've learned that one of the homes destroyed in the fire in CT belonged to my mom's friend. And I learned that one of the homes destroyed in the fire in Breezy Point belonged to the father of a colleague. It's hard to imagine such loss. But, in both of those cases, lives were spared.
I am craving a return to normalcy.
