Back to the Dark Ages

Today is going to be interesting.  Southern California Edison will be shutting off the power from 8am to 3pm today.  I have no clue as to how wide this black out is or what it is for exactly, but....

It still means:

• no heat
• no more coffee
• no tea
• no microwave
• no vacuuming (not a bad thing)
• no watching DVDs (unless I use my laptop)
• no... lots of things

See, the moment the power goes out, I will suddenly think of all the things I want to do if the power was on. I can use my laptop for a while -- batteries -- but that is limited.  It's just that I had plans to do a bit of sewing today.

Well, I had better go get the rest of my coffee and make some toast. 

8 minutes until darkness...
