It’s not even 8am and we’ve had a morning. Shawshank works mid-shift this morning, and was up before me. He started the morning routine, only to discover the linchpin of our morning – the coffee maker – shuffled off its mortal coil some time in the night. Then, shortly after I came out of the bedroom, the power went out. I found and lit two candles so Shawshank could feed the cats.
We had a nice day off together. Shawshank made us brunch, showed me a new card game, then played Red Dead Redemption. I ended up playing “Card Crawl” on my phone all afternoon. It scratches my brain the same way Slay the Spire does, but in smaller, bite-sized increments. I also sat on the patio to soak up fresh air. It wasn’t warm by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn’t below 0℉ either. I sat outside in my robe and mukluks, and didn’t die of exposure.
The snow returns today. I’ve already seen some flakes swirling on the wind. We’re expecting a few inches today, with things starting in earnest this afternoon and continuing overnight. I’m going to put on makeup and shoot for another early afternoon stream.
Nope, we just lost power again. I might not be doing shit today.
Update (1:25pm): The power is back, and the internet is working. Fucking huzzah.
