So I think we had the most 2020 Christmas morning humanly possible.
Last night the power went out at about 1:30am, as the storm howled outside.
The power didn't come back until about 8am. The problem with that is, it was raining like crazy, so the basement flooded and it's winter, so we're actually using the heater, so we had to find a way to protect the heater, or find a way to stop the heater from coming on until the pump was able to run
So I spent this morning trying to get across different floating platforms trying to hook up my jumper box for my car to the sump pump to try to run the pump, just to have my jumper box not be strong enough to run the pump anyway.
So instead we had to sit up and wait for the power to come back on, then immediately set the thermostat as low as possible so the heater wouldn't come on, since the thermostat is electronic and we can't set it manually like the old days.
Bunch of shit is ruined again, the water definitely came up past the heater, the room was totally full.
While I was sitting there, watching the clock in the dark because there was nothing better to do, I couldn't help but think about the kids in the area having to wake up to this shit. Like obviously they weren't dealing with my ridiculous situation, but imagine "So yeah, it's 7:30 am on christmas morning. But it's 2020, so theres a pandemic on, so you can't go visit your friends and family, most of your presents are probably lost in the mail because the mail system is overloaded, and oh yeah, now the power is out, so it's dark and most of the presents you do somehow have won't work, because theres no power. Have fun with that!"
I am not surprised this is how Christmas 2020 ended up. But I am still annoyed. Also, the only present I know I am getting so far, or at least probably getting, if it makes it through the mail system, is Legend of Dragoon from my brother. Xion would be proud.

I am sitting at home while everyone hangs out at my brother's house. The basement is dry now, and I think the heater is OK? No weird smells so far.
Wasn't he like, SUPER hyped up about Legend of Dragoon? Wasn't that like his favorite game? I could have sworn that was what his old avatar was from.
