It is currently about 97 degrees outside.
In my air-conditioned bedroom, it is closer to 70 degrees. Ahhhhh.....
But such was not the case only a couple hours ago. It was hot outside and inside....
We lost power today, people! I couldn't believe it. One minute I was sitting in my air-conditioned bedroom, working on my projects for the day -- and the next minute I was hoping that we had just blown a fuse in the house. But, NO! It was a widespread power outage in our area.
Dad called the power company and learned that it could be up to two hours before power was restored.
I ate an apple and a whoopie pie. I read a few chapters in a book. The heat was making me drowsy, so I started to fall asleep.... when I finally heard the magical sound of a fan coming on in my living room. Hooray!
I am so, so, so very happy that the power is back on.
It could have been worse, though. For example, Friday is my laundry day. I got an earlier start on it than I usually do, and so by the time we lost power I only had a load in the dryer. I was already finished using the washing machine -- I'm glad that it wasn't interrupted in the middle of a cycle. The timing of the power outage obviously took my laundry into consideration.
The dryer just buzzed! Gotta fold now.... and I will do that folding in my air-conditioned bedroom.
