I had a post to share last night but the 'cat was down so I saved it to put up today. But a storm passed through overnight and the power is out. That post is saved in the computer and I'm checking in on the world via mobile Hotspot and Bluetooth devices at my kitchen table. Next door has their generator up so I can charge stuff, and most importantly, I had a cuppa tea. There was wind in the storm, evidenced by stuff strewn around the yard. It no doubt took out a tree along the creek where they unwisely decided to run the electric wires.

I'm glad the doctor is seeing you; good thing this isn't a holiday in Canada.

I've spent this morning doing more clearing of horizontal surfaces. The radio is on classical; there are flashlights around the house so when I dressed I could see in the closet or when I take papers into the office closet I can see to file them. I plugged a power strip into the kitchen to set up several things on my power line; perhaps it is time to get a dedicated kitchen table one because we seem to go through this routine a couple of times a year.

When I finish filing I have a book to read. I haven't seen the power company truck up and down the street yet so this may take a while. I have a can of gas for the mower in the garage that I'll contribute to the generator this afternoon.
