literally powerless…

We don’t realise how reliant we are on electricity until it isn’t there, do we? The power went out in the city about 8.30 this morning, and didn’t come back on until 12.30 pm. We were all sitting around work griping about it, and realising how completely dependent we are on our computers. All the local cafes were out of action, as was our boiling water tap, so some of the caffeine addicts were getting pretty ugly, too.

The Boy is home sick today, and was completely gutted that he couldn’t even watch tv or play with his computer. I popped home earlier to check on him (since I work just over the street), and he was still sulking about it. He really isn’t the best patient in the world, poor baby. Oh well, at least the power is back now.
