Cleaning when the power goes off

Thursday

I woke up and stayed in bed until I realized I had to pee. So I did, then went back to bed. Still couldn't fall asleep. Chris and Michele got up to have breakfast and get ready for work. The cat started mewing so I got up to check on it. There was water but no food. Michele said she just wanted attention. I went back to bed.

As daylight started to creep in, I heard my alarm go off. I got up to brush my teeth. I took the seed crackers out of the oven and put them in a baggie in the fridge. I made more seed cracker mixes. I made fiber gel for later. I jotted notes for my blog. I parsed supplements for the week.

I filled a water bottle and put cleaning stuff in a box. When I tried to pick it up, I dropped the water bottle and it shattered. I had to mop it up and corral the glass pieces near the wall, waiting to dry.

I went to 648 to clean for 2 hours. At noon-ish, I came home for breakfast. I watched The Highwire as I ate. At 3, I went back to 648. This time I did not park in the garage. Not sure why. I cleaned for another two hours. I ran the dishwasher with the oven racks in it. But the power went off so the cycle did not finish. It came back on long enough for me to vacuum the HVAC intake cover. But then it went out again.

I was glad I hadn't parked in the garage. I went home. By then the power was back on, but the internet was still out. I jotted notes for my blog and recorded my hours. I checked e-mail. Michele and John went to the first house to move boxes to the second house. Chris came home from work with a pizza. I heated some curry in the toaster oven. After we had both eaten, I suggested going to help them. So we got in the car and headed over. But they passed us on their way back to our house. So we swung by the post office to pick up mail and then home.

But we passed them again. They were going to the Community Club. Chris invited them to have pizza at our house. So we all went home. After John had eaten, I brought him to 638 to pull some nails from a wall. I also picked up my phone which I had left behind. Then we went to 629 to get my red therapy lamp and CD player.

When we got back, Chris and Michele were watching a movie. John joined them. I listened to Mike Adams talk about using AI to answer everyday questions. I worked on my blog. Chris and I watched one episode of Atlantis. Then he went to bed. I stayed up to read. Then I turned everything off and went to bed.
