Let’s talk about your ups and downs! What successes did you have this week? Who messed up?
Oh, we went through something similar a few months ago. We were without power for 5 days due to a storm. We kept the fridge and freezer closed and, fortunately, despite the long blackout, we didn’t have to throw much away. But many people around us weren’t as lucky, and had to throw away hundreds of dollars’ worth of food…
5 days! How did you end up making food?
We partly relied on non-perishable shelf food, such as canned vegetables and pasta, that we cooked on a BBQ. Our city converted one of its buildings into a crisis center where residents could take hot showers, get hot meals, and even sleep if the temperature dropped too much, especially since it was over Easter weekend. Fortunately, the temperature stayed around 10°C.
The entire area was blacked out, leaving over a million people without electricity. We also lacked internet access on our phones, except during the night due to the overload on a limited number of antennas. It was an odd few days, but the kids thoroughly enjoyed it.
