Diary Entry for 1/23/1998

Sunny, storm day. Our generator power lasted until 4:30 before flipping off. Merrill got ready for day care but they didn’t come for him. I washed a tub of white clothes and dried them on bars. 87% of power restored this morning. A terrible day to be working outside. Bell Atlantic repaired our phone line about 11:30. Vern called shortly afterwards. It has been out since January 8th (over two weeks). I’ve had called from Jim, Jolie, Telephone company, County nurse association and I talked with Bonnie at day care and transportation. Jolie called at suppertime. She was having pain and was going to emergency. She called back about 10 PM. She has an infection in her ovaries. Merrill very up tight tonight. Wants to go home.
