Oh, and a few hours before the power went out I found out that I won my accident appeal, meaning that I wasn't found responsible for it, and in theory the insurance company will send me a check and lower my premiums. That was a relief, but it was sadly curtailed by the whole nearly-5-days-without-power thing.
I also helped our town clerk make blueberry pies for the firefighters and utility guys this morning at town hall while my mom was helping out at her weekly stint at the library. I hope the pies turned out well, and I found myself repeating a lot of what Sharon, one of the volunteers at Arlington St., was doing when we made a bunch of them for the church's bake sale. I'm playing with the idea of trying to make something this Christmas for the family like I did at our end-of-summer get together.
The Australia movie was pretty good, though I think they could have chopped some of it out. In terms of the villain by the end I was saying "please just shoot him" and Mom and I were saying afterwards that we weren't sure that Hugh Jackman's character ever got a name (he didn't according to IMDB). It was entertaining, at least.
