- In the shower past dark
- In the middle of a movie, especially at key moments – what a bummer!
- When it is hot and we are trying to go to sleep, it quickly goes from really hot to miserably hot
- When our water tank on top runs out – without a pump we now have a water and electricity outage
- At a time for a scheduled skype meeting, often people in the states forget we can lose power.
- When company is over or about to come over
- When we already had more work to do than we had time for
- When the last power outage was long enough ago that we forgot what we did with our flashlights.
- When anyone is sick – stress added to discomfort is never a good combination
- When everything I need is in the fridge or freezer and the fridge has already been open too many times– so frustrating!
All of these have happened to us at one time or another and I was reminded of them as our power went out tonight. In fact I am even writing this by flashlight, which is not nearly as romantic as it sounds. I needed something light hearted to lighten the load. Tyler fell sick with high fevers Saturday, but thankfully it only lasted 1 day. The fridge is hanging in as well, although we did lose it for one day – also last Saturday (which was a stretching day to say the least). 5 more days until Joel is home…we are surviving one day at a time.
