I got out of bed too late this morning ... after six, so I had no power to make my coffee. I added instant coffee and milk to my mug, boiled water at work.
Both my deliveries have arrived! Nice! I need to buy electricity tomorrow - even with load shedding as extreme as it is at the moment, I'm below my comfort-threshold. I don't like to have to watch the meter.
This weekend I'm going to make my curry! I just need to figure out how long it needs to cook. It'll make some space in the chest freezer - I'll take out all stewing lamb. I'm just going to buy more potatoes. Maybe carrots, too. And celery. I like celery! I don't need to go to the butchery. I think I have enough food for the ferals, I don't need meat and I have enough cheese.
The potato soup is a hit, though! I love it! A bit thick, so I add a bit of water, when I heat it up, but on the whole: yum!
I'm just looking at our load shedding schedule ... it's depressing! This afternoon from two till six again, then ten to two tomorrow morning, two hours later again from four to six! 4 hours off, 2 hours on, 2 hours off. Then there's a 2 hour outage from noon to two, and another 4 hours from eight to midnight.
I just sneaked a bar of chocolate from my delivery ... munch, chomp, lick!
I also sent a scathing message to my ex tenant - calling him a liar and a thief! What else do you call someone who moves out with your property, and doesn't bring it back? Let's see ... but if he doesn't make good, I'm okay with that. I've written it, my money and him off.
And with this power outage plus change of system - my personal plans have all fallen behind. I don't have time to update my budget, I don't have time to do my tax returns ... I rushed through my shopping ...
I want time off this weekend. Time to just loaf around, or watch whatever ... well, if I have power, of course ... but no big 'to do' list. I tried that last weekend, but too much ended up on Sunday's list ... and then I had that horrid headache on Sunday. All I really want is not to have a huge 'must' list on Sunday ...
Well, ten to five ... better publish ...
