I've Got the Power
Well, the worst is over for us. We lost power for just a second about an hour ago, but it came right back up. I don't know how we were so blessed, but I'm not bitching. It's still pretty windy and rainy...getting that from the tail end of the storm, but I'm not worried any more. More than 4 million people in Florida are without power and Frances still hasn't left the state.
Just got off the phone with NanoGirl and she's pretty frazzled. Still no power and tempers are flaring in her house. She kinda went off on her dad and he hasn't come out of his room since...hours and hours. Now she feels awful about it. Long story, but I told her not to get too down on herself. Being without power and air conditioning will really get people's moods out of whack. She can have a bit of a temper even under the coolest of weather, so...hopefully, she'll just mend the fence with her dad in the morning. When you don't have power, sunlight has a way of elevating moods. Till it gets too high in the sky, anyway...then it's just friggin' hotter than hell. Still, when we didn't have power, I preferred the daylight - you can read and...well, read.
Mom has been going crazy with jigsaw puzzles the last couple of weeks. She's finished 2 and is about to finish a 3rd...1,000 pieces these things. I don't think I have that sort of patience or attention span. I may try one, though. We'll see. Maybe a 25 piece puzzle would suit me.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I'm OK. More than OK...I have POWER! Thank you, Lord.
