Good morning!
Last night my power was knocked out by a storm so I couldn’t sign on although I kept thinking that I could. I hate that, when the power went out, I was watching TV and I knew that was out. But, it takes a while to realize the full extent of a power outage. I had to flip every dead switch as I walked into each room and I picked up my phone only to realize that it didn’t work without electricity. Then, I thought I would just go online, but of course this thing is electric too. I can’t use to stove? I’ll just use the microwave, right? no, not that either. I spent a while fumbling around looking for flashlights and candles, trying to use the last few minutes of daytime that were left the best way I could.
Eventually, I put two very strong flashlights in the living room and two in the kitchen and I put candles in the hall, bathrooms and bedrooms. The flashlights gave me enough light to clean the kitchen and do the dishes (the one thing that I could do was the dishes, LOL). The living room was light enough for me to read so I did. I read a book called “Let’s Roll”. It was written by Lisa Beamer, the wife of the guy who said, “Let’s Roll” on Flight 93 on 9/11. That was the plane that went down in Pennsylvania. That book moved me to tears and I will be writing more about it when I get back from an 8:30 court date. It/s almost 7 right now so I have to get ready to go to the courthouse. OH! By the way, I found out that if you are giving something away for free, the local paper will run your ad for free so I ran an ad to find Moby Dick a home and I did! When I get back from court, his new parents will be coming to put him into a 500 gallon tank! He is really moving up in the world! The people who I am giving him to are going to give me some snails so that I don't have that problem again. Of course, they have a lot of snails because they bought two and they multiplied until these people have thousands of snails. I may be asking for an entirely new problem, but Moby will be doing well in his new digs.
See you later!
