Day 57 in 2023

The power is back on and all of us are breathing a (warm) sigh of relief.

Day 56 in 2023

We are still without power, and Gimli is finding the outage stressful. We're not sure exactly what the cause is, or if it's a number of things together. We know he doesn't like the sound of the generators throughout the neighborhood, and I'm sure smells and sounds in general are very different. He is also not a fan of big changes in the house, like the tarps blocking out the colder air sneaking in with the extension cord that make funny noises or his food being moved to a warmer part of the house for easier access. And we already knew he hated his routine being messed with, and it's definitely a shambles right now. But he must also be pretty cold throughout the day even though we've done what we can to make him more comfortable. Whatever the various causes, he has been very wound up every day all day long, so seeing him relax and unwind so thoroughly at the end of the day is very nice.
