Stacking the Shelves DELAYED Because of Power Outage!



What a horrible week it's been! There were terrible storms that hit the area on Tuesday afternoon and that's when I lost power at my house. TUESDAY. Well, I just got it back on Friday right before dinner time (but we had no food because it all went bad). Three days without power in the middle of the summer! YUCK! A giant tree fell on the power lines in front of my street and nobody came to even look at it until Friday. There were trees and wires everywhere, it looked like a warzone. It was hot and miserable and BORING. Plus, we had to charge our phones in the car or take them to work to charge. Needless to say, after Tuesday, I wasn't able to do anything on the blog. Luckily I had my Waiting on Wednesday and a Book Blitz for Racing Hearts Book Two (with a contest for a $10 Amazon gift card) scheduled so they went up on time, BUT I couldn't visit anyone's blogs on Wednesday because I had to save my phone battery (and I feel terrible about that!). When we finally got power on Friday, I was faced with clean up, laundry and throwing away all the food. I'm too exhausted to do a Stacking the Shelves post right now. I might just do a two week wrap up next week. 

The only good thing about having no power for three days was that I got A LOT of reading done. Now I just need to move on after this awful week and get some reviews up next week. 

I hope everyone else had a much better week!

  8. Oh wow, that sucks Michelle :( I'm so sorry that that happened! I hate wasting food so I would have been super annoyed about losing everything like that! And man, three days without power is a wicked long time D: Well, I'm happy that your power was FINALLY restored and at least you got some quality reading time! I'm sure this coming week will be much better for you ♥
