The last time, it was out for 3 days. I did everything by candlelight at night.
I finished a book,sketched and enjoyed it all very much. Nice and quiet.
I live where hurricanes and snowstorms take out our power from time to time and when I can prepare, I enjoy it. Even without warning, I can usually do fine for a few days.
After twelve days of now power after Sandy, it freaks me out a bit if the power goes out and I don’t know when it will be back on. A few weeks ago it went off just as I was about to heat up my supper and I was not happy. Friends asked me out to dinner with them and luckily, it was on by the time I got home.
We’ve had no power for 5 days twice this year, and no power for 3 days twice as well.
Napping is good.
Yard work can take my mind off it.
Occasionally I read.
