Today we were without power. We have a generator. It is currently not working. Oops!
I’ll be honest. I could have done more to try to obtain electricity. My mom invited me over to her house. I am fairly sure there was electricity at my office. I know there were restaurants out there where I could have plugged in my laptop, sipped on a beverage, and used all the free internet. But, I really didn’t feel like it.
In my defense, I also thought the electricity would come on a lot sooner than it did. One of the downed grids by us was turned on around 8am. So I thought we shouldn’t be too much longer than that. My procrastination was logical. Right? I mean, that’s what I’m telling myself.
I went thru my laundry. I cleaned out the hallway closet. I cleaned off the dining room table, which seemed to have sprouted a small collection of random things. I laid down and tried to take a nap. I was tired enough, I think. But I couldn’t do it. Sometimes I am a horrible nap taker; nothing has changed since my youth!
Tonight I am thankful for a day of hiding from electricity! Since it was hiding from me first, this only seemed fair! Of course, now it is 11pm and I am still working. And I’ll be getting up early tomorrow to be working also to catch up. BUT, totally worth it! I enjoyed my day of hiding!
