yesterday: i learned that i can have a cup of green tea at 4pm and the caffeine doesn’t prevent me from falling into bed exhausted at 10pm. this is exciting news.

but has nothing to do with this post which was meant to be about last night’s power outage. whoops.

in the wee hours of the night: i woke to the bleeping complaint of the uninterruped power supply letting me know that the electricity had been interrupted. i laid in bed listening to the a/c cut out and watched the ceiling fan slowly lose momentum.

this morning: still no power when i woke up at 330am, but i got out of bed and strapped on the headlamp to study anyway. still nothing by the time i left the house at 6am. i showered with a flashlight in the bathroom and was thankful i could heat up water for tea because my stove is propane.

on the way to school: just up the road, i had to detour around a power pole at a 45o angle over the road. there was a small red car with a large red dent parked nearby. explanation served.

on the way home from school: power pole fixed and electricity back on.

happy ending.

for everyone but the little red car.
