The windows need washing but this might not be the weekend to do it.

This week got away from me on Wednesday when we had a 3 hour power outage. It was not weather related. Three substations were involved -the power company has a wonderful OutageView web page AND my neighbor phoned with some info on passing the substations going to town. It is the longest outage since I’ve been in this house – almost 7 years.

All of my electronic gadgets were fully charged and even a spare battery for my phone. I had just made fresh airpot of hot tea AND I was showered, dressed and my hair dried…VERY important as I like to be clean and put together for working…sad, but true. Bottom line, I was in good shape to endure. BUT, although typically I do not need Internet for most of my work, this day I did. I had my usual access but I’m guessing because my access is cellular and maybe a tower or 2 was without power and traffic diverted: the internet was iffy. I finally gave up and Bear and I went for a drive and a walk. We returned to power and continued on, but it was a short Wednesday work day making for a long Thursday and early start today.

Approaching 5:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon and I will shortly call it a week. The sun is out at the moment. The extended forecast is for messy, wintry kind of weather until late next week so we will enjoy Friday Sunshine while we may.
