Luxury

So last night I scarf down my dinner put my black work pants in the dryer and brush my teeth and get into bed by 9pm ( I get up at 4:30am for work). Right before I turn off my lights I go to turn my cell phone on silent when I get a message saying the restaurant is closed because we have no electricity! Sweet! I get an extra day off! I didn't know what to do with myself last night since in my head it was already a sunday night to me. I ended up going to bed at 10:30pm. Lame, I know! This morning I woke up and made myself breakfast. I patriotic breakfast to celebrate the 4th. I forget how much of a luxury sitting down and taking my time to eat something yummy is. Usually I'm just shoving a sandwich down my throat while I'm busy working or shoveling food into my mouth in a hurry so I can go to bed and get some decent sleep before I have to wake up in the crack of dawn.

So now I'm sitting here eating my oatmeal and I'm wondering if the loss of electricity means our refrigerators and freezers are down. That would be disaster. That means everything needs to be thrown out and we have to start making everything from scratch. That's a lot of dollars down the drain. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow and see what's going on.
