Today, I've been up since three.
All that pent up anger, frustration, and most of all: anxiety, draining out of me ... well, that's me without any steam left, ha ha! I wonder whether I'll have the energy to mow this afternoon?
Yup! Somehow I made it! The weather helped, as it was overcast, threatening rain any time ... chasing me along.
When I finished mowing, I trimmed my marigold again, only, as I was racing against the rain, I collected the heads in a tub. I'll get the seeds later. When it started to drizzle, I cut whole bushes. Then sat on the veranda to separate the heads.
It was pretty cold, raining, getting dark, and Smeagol sat on the car port mewling at mippies, so we went inside. I treated mippies, then shared my dinner. I was just about to make myself another prime rib when the power went off!
A neighbour had jokingly posted the weather report, replacing 'power outage' for rain - pretty accurate.
I tried, for a change, to report the outage via SMS - using my landlord's account number. That worked! Then I logged into the Tshwane webhop to see the outage map & follow up on progress. Only five people in the close vicinity of my location, reported outages ... I tried to get the neighbours to report as well - the more reports, the higher the priority. No takers. I don't know, they'll happily sit in the dark for hours ... waiting for me to get home to report the outage ... and whine about the constant power outages. Well, you can lead a horse to water ...
I had the foresight to turn the geyser on fairly early, so I was able to enjoy a really hot bath!
Then I watched another part of Star Trek Retrospective - this time on the original series - after which I enjoyed an early night. After the really early morning and the lack of sleep last night - I fell asleep quite easily ...
