Power off and on

Tuesday

I got up around 7:30. I brushed my teeth and went to the kitchen to get started on my day. I sat down to read e-mail. I called to check on a message saying I had earned points for using a debit card. It was weird, but turned out to be true. However before I could change the password, the electricity went out.

So I texted Chris about the power. His at work had blipped but not gone off. So I started texting people around the base to find out which areas had power and which didn't. I texted my findings to Chris. I talked to Jamie for a bit. I asked Michelle to monitor the Facebook page in case anyone posted about it or needing anything.

Just as I texted Chris that I was coming over to use his power, the power came back on. I had to trip some breakers to get internet. I texted some people that internet was back up. And then the power went out again.

I got dressed, and cleaned off my windshield. I packed my heating pad and put it in a satchel. I went to Chris' office. We chatted and he plugged in the heating pad. We walked to the front door to make sure it was unlocked for Michele. There was hardly anyone anywhere. Michele came in and we went back to Chris' office for lunch. I sat against the pad as they ate. A co-worker came in and they discussed cancelling TownHall tonight.

Chris got a text that EV had power again. So I texted MeryAnn to make sure she did as well. But she didn't. So Chris and I went over there to check. We had a nice chat with her and her husband. But no power.

Chris went back to the office and I went home. I made breakfast and heated tea by lighting the gas burner. Thank goodness I have a gas stove. I jotted notes for my blog as I ate. Saronna texted that she couldn't play today.

I watched videos on acrylic pour methods. I watched some videos on how to slice a durian. I called Jamie to say I needed to move cleaning stuff into the house next to her. So she agreed to leave it open. I went over and moved my stuff in. I set up the toilets to soak the rings and some of the tub. Then I swept the floors downstairs and cleaned behind the fridge and the stove.

When I got home, Chris was home and eating supper. I drank the rest of the fiber gel. He got out the crock pot of corned beef. I took out some to heat in the toaster oven. I checked e-mail and read messages. I ate supper. I worked on my blog.

I made tea. We watched the last episode of Brokenwood. Chris went to bed. I stayed up to read and to tap along with the first tapping with Brad. I paused it and went to bed.
