Then the power went off...
Waiting for the "powermen" to come and fix it...
*************************************************
Yesterday night, when I went home with my mom, we saw the sky and it looked scary. We thought we were going to have lots of rain. Nope. Not a single drop. But it was windy and it caused the power to went off. My mom called the power company to report it and we waited... and waited... and waited for them to come and fix it. It did not happen. So, we went to sleep, with not fresh air and with 110 degrees. Not funny at all.
This morning, still without power and without an alarm clock to tell my mom that it was time to wake up... she woke up late. 7:24 am. She ran to the shower. She was in the middle of her bath and then... no water! She had soap on her body. She had to finish her bath with a bucket! As you can imagine she got to her office very late and feeling dirty!
She was there when she got a phone call. Someone from the Vehicular Control Office told her that she has to pay a bunch of money for a car that was stolen 13 years ago!
She told him about it and he said that it was her obligation to report the incident to them at that time. (More HBO words).
She told him about it and he said that it was her obligation to report the incident to them at that time. (More HBO words).
Do you know that we have to pay taxes every year for the right to have a car?? Can you imagine all the taxes and fines for 13 years??
My mom has the report that the police made when the car was stolen and she is taking it tomorrow to that office and hopes she can do something about it! Wish her luck, please!
Lets hope tomorrow will be a better day!
Have a good night

Good luck with the car thing. Hy human dad lived in Mexico a few years back and had a few of these frustrating experiences with the authorities.
Oops.. sounds like a pretty bad day for your mom! We hope things will be better and the problems will sort themselves out soon..
Please can you hug your mom for us?
Hi Lorenza,
Oh I feel so sorry for your mommy to have to endure such a bad day... hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Is the electricity and water back?
Oh no, we certainly hope she can get it straightened out. Mom had a tough day today too, tomorrow will be better we hope!
Gads, that is not the best day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Bummer of a day, Lorenza! Tell your Mom to keep cool and things will work out to her advantage!
Kisses,
Stella
Lorenza, you are so lucky to NOT be a human....so complicated. Too much paperwork.
Vaya, esperamos que se solucione el problema del coche.
Saludos desde Bolonia.

Oh dear! What a dreadful day, Lorenza!! Your poor human! I do hope tomorrow things start to get better (at least, your power comes back on!) and that your human sorts things out about that car!
Sending you good luck slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Dear..dear...dear...Lorenza
It's as if you are living HERE, in South Africa. Power cuts, water cuts, stolen cars - that's very familiar! But we share your HUGE frustration...GOOD LUCK!
Give your mom lots of licks!

Lorenza,
Your Mom had a rough day yesterday.
No power, now water....whew. HBO words indeed. Mom calls that talk 'potty mouth'. We believe HBO words is very descriptive. I certainly hope the police report from 13 years ago will help settle the problem. That is just horrible. My peeps very first pet was a mini Dachshund named Toto. Seeing you reminds of of him. Toto was a character. Mom is busy writing some Dachshund Chronicles for the blog. They will be stories about the misadventures of the Mighty Toto.
We'll be thinking of you today,
Madi and Mom
Hi Lorenza!
I am sorry that you and your mom have had such a bad day! I hope that tomorrow is better and she can get out of paying those fines!
:) Tibby
WOW...
I soooo hope FURRY much today is a better day!
That sky was skhary!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
awwww--- betters days to come!! and that last pic of you Lorenza is so sweet!!!!
Poor mommy!!! We hope her week gets better. It's no fun when mommies have to use HBO words. =( Did they tell her when she might get power and water back? I hope its soon.
I sooooooo hope you have a/c back by now!
Hi Lorenza
I'm sorry you and your mom had such a bad day. I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope you have a better day!
Oh my goodness! What an awful night and day your mom is having! We hope it gets better from here...
Oh My Dog - And it's not even a Monday!
Your poor mom. I know you will give her lots of kisses and cuddles to make her feel all better!
This would certainly be called a bad few days.......We hope your Mom can persuade the police with the paper! And we hope you have your power and water back!!! HOO BOY....love A+A
awwh dear stylish Lorenza, we feel sad for your mommy *give her our wet licks*
we hope tomorrow will be a brighter day :)
maltese paws
Poor Lorenza's mom!! Sounds like someone put a hex on her, for all those bad things to happen at once! I don't know what those HBO words mean but sounds like she was entitled to use them :-/
Hope today's a better day!
Your pal,
Sedona
Oh, Lorenza! What a tough day! Hope you gave your mom lots of snuggles and sugar to help.
whoa! what a crazy day. hopefully today is a much much better one! If you don't mind my asking, are you in Mexico permanently?
Aaargh, no wonder you're hiding under the pillow!
Wow, Lorenza. As they say, "When it rains, it pours!" - bad things always happen all at once. :( Good luck with everything!
S and D
Oh noes, that does not sound like a good day at all! I hope the car problem can get all sorted it; I don't think your mom should have to pay!
Hi Lorenza
Sounds like your mom may need legal advice about the car. That can't be right!
Sorry about the weather, the power, the water and everything else!!!
Our hot water is being very tempermental at the moment and mum had shampoo on her hair when it turned very cold - still she managed to finish the shower in cold water which is not so bad as no water at all!!!
We will have our basset paws crossed over here in Scotland for your mom.
love
Martha & Bailey xxxxx
Oh boy...sounds like a bad day for Momma...She will need extra licks and cuddles for sure!!!
Smileys!

Hi Lorenza,
I hope things are going better for you and your mom.
Wags & wiggles,
Bijou
Oh, that all just plain stinks! (No pun intended with your mom's short shower...)
Here in stupid Kansas, we pay annual taxes on our cars, too. :(
Play bows,
Zim
Hi Lorenza,
I hope that all of that was just a horrible nightmare!
If not, then I hope that your Mommy was able to get everything corrected, the power on, the a/c going and had a fantastic shower. I hope that right now she is sitting infront of the computer getting ready to tell us all how well everything turned out.
Hugs to you and your Mom, Tessa
oh no, what a really horrid day for your Mom. I hopes she can get the car thing sorted.
~lickies, Ludo
Oh, dear, such a bad day. We hope that your mom can get this all straightened out, does not seem fair at all that she should have to pay that money. We have to pay property taxes on our vehicles every year but we at least have our vehicles to use. This is just not right.
Hope you got your power back by now.
Hugs, the OP Pack
Oh my! Your mom is not having a good day at all, Lorenza!
Paws are crossed that it gets better very quickly for her!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Hope your Mum gets everything sorted okay. That's so hot to try to sleep I guess you will have electric now and be cooling down.
Desde luego, que mal dÃa. Esperemos que consiga arreglar el asunto del coche...
Urgh! What a nightmare! I cannot believe trying to go to sleep when it's 110 inside! And then being unable to take a proper shower; that's horrendous.
As for the matter of the car, we hope your Mom will be able to get everything resolved satisfactorily. It's crazy that they are trying to hold you liable for a car that was stolen last decade!
Big hugs, and big cool slobbers to lick off the remaining soap. Yum!
That is am awful day.. Hopefully Mom can help those policemen see the error of their ways. Good luck mom
Big Sloppy Kisses
Gus, Louie and Callie
Love that last picture of your little teeny nose Lorenza! You are too cute!!
Jaime
Oh my goodness, your mom had a very bad awful horrible yucky kind of day. I hope today is better!
Mom uses HBO words, too when things aren't working correctly!
Kaos

And after all tha car!!!!!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.........
Paws crossed for you!!
Hope tomorrow will be a much better day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let us know how is going ok!!
We love you a lot!!!!!!!
Sweet kisses and licks
Hi, Lorenza -
Your Mom's day sounds like Mama's "comedy of errors" days. She had a bad yesterday too. The computer was slow at work and the computer was doing not so nice things at home. Some HBO words came out of Mama's mouth too.
The weather has been HOT and HUMID - not very comfortable. Good luck resolving the car issue. It's a good thing your Mom kept the police report. We also have to pay taxes EVERY YEAR on our cars and house too.
Love -
Hershey and Kaci
hi Lorenza, it sounds like your mom has had a lot of reasons to use those HBO words. things are not going good! we hope that she gets everything straightened out with the stolen car and you have power and water today!
woofs.
HBO words - HA! We do not have HBO, and my Mom uses those words all the time!
Thanks for visiting me today - I added a new poll on my blog because of your comment!
Tomorrow has got to be a better day. It can't get much worse.
Princess Eva
What an awful day! Give her kisses lorenza

Poor Lorenza, Mom too.What a horrid day. Hope things are better today for you and the electricity and water is back on. Good luck with the car thing, thank dog Mom kept the report. Hope it's sorted straight away.Give your Mom an extra special kiss from me.
Wiry wags n kisses Eric xx
Ugh! Your poor Mom! Please let is know how everything turn out for her.
Love,
Teddy Bear
Oh no... sorry to hear about your mom. Hope everything will be OK.
Licks,
Adele, Vincent & Bella
Ooh, that's terrible about the taxes on the car. I can't believe they'd expect your mom to pay them after her car was stolen. Hopefully they'll come to their senses soon.
I hope your electricity comes back on soon. It must feel miserable in your home at that heat.
Hi, Lorenza...
Oh My...Your Mom didn't have a good day...
Tell her I said Good Luck with the car thing...
Did your electric & water come back on?
Abby xxxooo
Your mom is having a bad day. Sure hope it gets better!
--JB
Your poor mom! I hope today will be better and she can get it all sorted! Hopefully they can clear everything with the police report. We have to pay taxes on our cars here and it's a lot of money!
Mochi
hola lorenza!
I am never suew who reads my followups in the comment section so I just thought I would post here. Grammar mistakes? boy I would have NEVER guessed! You want to hear some awful grammar? Se me olvide mucho de la lengua espanol.
I won't even try saying how many years it has been since I took Spanish. Last time I did, I didn't know how to use the tilde on my keyboard and when somebody put what I wrote in an online translator..well the spanish word for year, without a tilde, just makes for an entirely different statement!
Good Luck, good luck Mom, it's really awaful with 110degree.
Gee Lorenza....
Ya sure look like ya have been having a bad time of it lately....no power, 110 degrees (ouch !)no water fer the shower and big fines fer a stolen car....sheesh.....tell yer Mom that we read an article that said HBO words really do help relieve the stress from such trying problems......
Hope the trip ta the tax official with the police report made it all better.....
If not find a nice safe cave ta hibernate in.......or some new and more much potent HBO words........
Dewey Dewster here.....
WOW!! And I thought I had a bad day!!
Good luck to your mom!!
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie
Oh Lorenza, we have been away and have missed you. We are so sorry to come back to your bad day. I am sorry about the power going out, I get very scared when that happens. I hope your Mom can take care of the car problem. Mommy will pray very hard for her and we will think very good thoughts.
licks and sniffs, Sasha
Scary looking sky! Mom is more afraid of scary weather than I am. When she anticipates a chance of the power going off, she gets her candles and matches ready, ha ha.
