Because of this crazy-cold-for-Houston weather our energy provider has been ordered by a high muckity-muck to implement rolling blackouts across the state of Texas. Already this morning we've had three 45-minute outages and I'm estimating that another one is due to arrive at about 12:30ish (CST). Unfortunately we only have about an hour of power in between the outages. That doesn't leave a lot of time for us to get anything done round these parts.
I'm kicking myself for not bring a book with me today (like I often do so I can read on my lunch hour) nor do I have my notebook (so I can write like I often do on my lunch hour)
...grumble...grumble...grumble...
So, I'm off to scrounge up some blank paper so maybe I can get some writing done the next time the lights go out.
Of course it's definitely not as bad as some of you in the northern regions that are snowed in and under. Hopefully everyone is staying warm and safe and getting some writing done!
I'm sorry about the outages but pen and paper does in a pinch! I carry a pen and paper with me (or try) whenever I leave the house; it isn't as fancy as a laptop but gets the job done.
I hope you're staying safe.
hope you're staying safe... and warm of course.
