I had no electricity for hours.

And when the lights ( and the TV) started, messages started to come too. I had one from Dixie that half of the country had no electricity. One of the probable reason was a huge fire somewhere in the south.
I did discover though that I rested more with no lights on, no laptop on my lap and no TV yelling. As there was no possibility of having fun, I turned off the laptop and put it away, placed the pillows in a comfy way and went to sleep. I slept for hours and got up, not knowing whether it was Tuesday or Wednesday. I did not dare ask Alexa. Alexa goes crazy after electricy problems. I let it rest then.
Much later I discovered that my laptop and my cellphone told me the exact date. So I went to take my night pills and ate a bit of a dinner.
Now I´ll check again the supermarket list and send it so that Anita takes care of that tomorrow.
I wonder if I´ll be able to sleep now after such a long nap. For the moment, I´ll mylot a bit. See you

I'm sorry you had no electricity for hours. Who is Alexa?

Alexa is an AI devise. It does many things but I just ask it for the time and the day.

@MarieCoyle We had a huge wind last winter and electricity had problems. I was very happy to have insisted in gas. I like to have partly gas and partly electric devises at home.

Power outages can be a real pain in the butt. I know how that goes.

I am not sleepy yet and it is way past my time to turn the lights out.
