Happy Friday. Not.

Nothing like getting up in the morning and 10 minutes later the power goes out. (Esp. when you're using the downstairs facilities...with no windows...because the upstairs one is fitted for a hip replacement patient. Gee. It's dark down here.) So - no shower, no hair washing, no breakfast or lunch for anybody (can't open the fridge), no hot tea for Mom, no phones, no TV, no internet. The netbook works fine, except my internet service comes through Verizon's system, which went down with the electricity. Sheesh. You don't know how much you rely on electricity until you don't have it.

Also had a metric buttload of mail that had to go out this morning, so didn't get out for food until 11am. But I am finally fed and something in the office fridge for later, and the electric is supposed to be back by now. Neighbor is checking on Mom. Phew.
