I don’t have advice but I just want to say, I’m so sorry! I understand your pain. Hurricane beryl came to us last week on Monday. I was without power for almost a week. I lost power last week Monday 7/8 at 4am and didn’t get my power till Sunday night 7/14. It was awful. I, along with 2.2 million people were without power for a week. Some are still without power today. Sending you so much love and positive thoughts.

The flamingo is a candle holder. It’s battery operated. Bath and body works has them. I use them as a nightlight when we lose power.

Flashlight, full water jug. It’ll illuminate. Just put it right up against it.

The dollar stores have glow sticks. You can make games with them, set them allnover the house, have a dance party with them…
