Power woes

Our power went out for a little while yesterday afternoon, and it apparently got a good distance around us, because my dental office was also hit. Had an 'every-six-months' appointment this morning, and they were still having problems getting into the computers. Thankfully all I needed or wanted was a cleaning, and that didn't require a computer. All good on that front, and I'll call them next week to schedule the next appointment and deal with billing.
I was a little worried I was going to have to go into the office today, because the power cord on my work laptop didn't seem to be charging it after the power outage. I was all set to try a couple different things and then make the drive in, but after sitting powered down all night it was drawing power just fine this morning, post-dentist. Thank heavens. The Metro is current closed down at the office, so it would've meant a drive one way or another.
In the meantime, it's Apple systems update day, so I've been updating all of my devices, and getting the husband's computers for good measure while he's at work. Much easier to do during the day at home than waiting until everyone is trying to do it when they get home from work.

And for some reason I wasn't even able to use my Roku.
Thankfully I was able to watch dvds. :o
Thank goodness your power cable started working again for you laptop. :o
