the longest power outage i sweat through yet. not even in thailand, i want to tell HOM. even in that backwater land of candles and smiles the blackouts were always more like brownouts. this one was a sixty-six hour whopper. here, before i forget, my gratitude:
- that this is summer and not winter. summer outages are outrageous and sticky but winter outages are worse.
- that my biggest headaches are how to keep comfortable and connected.
- that family and friends surround me with concern and contact and supply.
- that t-mobile, that finicky company with spotty coverage, chooses to keep its coverage intact at my study window throughout the ordeal.
- that it's over.
a daft smile plasters itself across my face every time i pass a draft of cool air from the vents. i can have another shower anytime i want! i can sleep on cool sheets tonight! i can peer into the freezer at long last!
