"Gust 2008"

So, we don't have power. We're at a Heine Bros. about 5 minutes away from our house, but most of our subdivision doesn't have power. It could be days, or weeks til we get it, there are apparently about a half million people in Louisville/Jefferson County that don't have power.

Adam was going to substitute today somewhere in JCPS (Jefferson Co. Public Schools), but schools are closed, and so we're going to hang out at the house, take the dogs for a walk, read, etc. I'm glad we're not dependent on means of entertainment that are solely powered by electricity. We have a lot of candles, and our community group tonight should be fun. :) A few students are coming for piano lessons today, and a few aren't.

After we're done here at the coffee shop, we'll go home, and Adam has homework, and I have books, and a piano, so today should be fine. We don't have many perishables at the house, except for some yogurt and hamburger meat. I checked the refrigerator earlier, and it was still cold, so we're going to grill the hamburger tonight. That way it doesn't go to waste, and we'll have fun making dinner.

It's nice to slow down, every once in awhile, even if it is inconvenient. I'll be happy when the power comes back on, and the sooner the better, but I'm ok if it takes a few days.

As an aside, there's a big burly guy sitting outside charging his phone, and it's a bright hot pink RAZR. I find it kind of hilarious. :)
