Well, the rolling blackouts SEEM to have ended. Haven’t had one in hours. So I’m hoping I can actually get a shower in tonight.
And maaaaan, do I need one! I was literally stepp into the shower when the first outage occurred. And I haven’t trusted the power to stay on while in process.
But today, I did a lot of snow shoveling, and I’m a sweaty mess. I will be showering regardless of ambient lumens, praying that there’s enough hot water to complete the task if the power fails again.
Silver lining: the border collies have been loving yard time in the snow. The younger one has been sitting or lying down in and plowing through drifts like a mad scotswoman. I swear I saw her running past our kitchen door with bagpipes and a kilt.
The older one has been more sedate and stylish in her enjoyment. Walk a few feet. Vogue. Sniff some air over there. Vogue. Stare at me shoveling snow. Vogue.
