And Then There Was Power!

Fortunately, the computer runs the modem and I still have internet even though the power has been off for quite some time this morning. I was reading in here, the morning news, and did not realize it had gone off. Couldn't figure out why one of the YouTube videos I wanted to watch had no sound. Duh. I've got speakers hooked up to the computer and they do run on other power. That should have been my first clue, you'd think. I'm just out of practice on power outages I guess.

Ah! I just heard the unmistakable sound of power returning! Even the computer is running better now.

Too bad I had to drink that second cup of coffee lukewarmish. :( At least now I'll be able to run a load of laundry (fingers metaphorically crossed) whenever the water comes back on.

You know, it's gray outside, it's cold in here,
my phone needs to be charged and without lights on in the livingroom, well, it's just downright yucky. Hey, but look! We have two dumpsters now! Something is going right. Maybe now I'll go do some weaving, reading, vacuuming, cutting of strips for ties for the pillow, dish washing and whatever else comes to mind, not necessarily in that order.

PS. sorry about the red guy giving you the finger in the photo. We've been looking at that for a couple years now. He never goes away. :( But just be glad you can't see what's behing the tree on the wall in that photo - male anatomy and the words that for some reason say, "I am a pr...k" in Russian (or so it was translated to Mel - I don't know that Russian word and to be honest I don't even see it there on the wall any more - which is kind of like how sin is in a person's life - you get so accustomed to it being there that you don't even see it any more). The person who translated it for Mel said it's really strange and more than a little funny. Why would a person call themself that?? Fortunately, part of it has been erased by an old granny scrubbing it with mud, part has been erased by someone shooting fireworks at it, leaving little black and gray splats here and there all over (it is very large), but it is still recognizable. I have to admit, ours is the only view I've seen here with this kind of lovely artwork on it. Sigh. Why us??? I guess we're just "lucky". :-)
