I was busy at my computer finishing up a few last-minute things for my 12-Day packages when the power flickered off. It came on right away so I continued what I was doing. The power went completely off a short time later but fortunately I had just saved the document I was working on.

The power stayed off for over an hour. For the first part of the outage Pat and I sat downstairs in the dark. I didn’t expect it to be off long but before the hour was up my feet were getting cold and I felt like I should be doing something. I could continue to wrap packages in the light from my sewing room window or I could read by the light from the main floor windows. With the help of my around-the-neck light I could even do a bit of cross stitching. In the end I decided to read because I put two more books on hold at the library this morning.

Once the power was back on and lunch was over I got one box ready for mailing. I thought I might take it to the post office this afternoon but the rain and the wind were continuing so I decided it could wait until tomorrow.

I cut out a couple of projects for the bee tomorrow and added one in that didn’t get finished last week. If I finish the projects early I have another stop to make after the post office and I guess it wouldn’t hurt to be home earlier than usual.

I’m done upstairs for the day and I think I’ll go back to my reading.
