On Monday, I got a call saying that the hydro company was scheduling an outage from 9 to noon today. So, this morning we had our showers early, filled a pot with water for the toilets, left off the computer and dishwasher. Then we went outside to put up the Christmas lights.
I came back in an hour or so later and, as we still had power, made us mugs of hot chocolate. Then as noon approached, I made lunch. It seems a strange thing to say, but as we were all prepared to have no power, it was mildly irritating to have it stay on.
I put the computer on after lunch and washed the dishes. After taking the dog for a walk, I sat down to design a quilt block that had been buzzing around in my head. I was using the computer software program, EQ and, although it wasn't easy, I was making some progress. Then, you guessed it, the power went out. It was now 3 p.m. It did click back on almost right away but I had lost my design. Maybe I will try again tomorrow or just sketch it out on paper.
First I was irritated because the hydro didn't go out and then I was irritated because it did. No pleasing some folk is there!
Blessings,
Just like delivery people, you can't trust utility companies to come when they say! LOL
ReplyDeleteHope you can recreate your design, I'd love to see it.
