Last week/end was a heatwave like I’ve never experienced. We coped the best we could at home… until we experienced three power outages in 48 hours and decided it was time to find alternate accommodations.
How lucky we are that my mom is so nearby and always so joyfully willing to host us at “Camp Jojo.” After one of the sweatiest nights in memory, we ended up having a lovely, quiet, long holiday weekend.
Swipe to the end for a look at my really stellar art skills. 🎨💁🏻♀️
P.S.: If you live in Lakewood and have been affected by this or other recent outages, I encourage you to join me in writing to
@firstenergyhome,
@pucohio, and ALL of our relevant politicians — local, state and federal. And in the meantime, please join me in supporting local businesses hit hard by the weekend outage, like
@brewellas,
@roodfoodpie,
@fikacafelakewood &
@ginghammarket. I love my neighborhood and hate seeing my favorite spots struggle due to absolutely preventable outages brought on by corporate apathy.
Take care of one another. 💗
