Gotta roll with the punches blackouts
Today definitely did not go as planned, mainly on account of two instances of technical difficulty: My apartment complex's one dryer was on the fritz, which postponed my laundry plans until tomorrow when it'll hopefully be fixed. Also, the power went out, which put a stop to my Degrassi-watching... right in the middle of my favorite episode! It later came back on, but only for a few minutes. SoCal Edison can be such a tease.
Anyway, the power's been back for a few hours now, which gave me plenty of time to iron the one clean pair of pants I do have. So neither malfunction proved to be too much of a crisis. And hey, at least we're not doing load-shedding — or rolling blackouts, as I think they're called here. Steve Gerner reminded me that we Americans are "spoiled with constant electricity anyway."
Today's little problems aside, I still did way less than I expected to this weekend, but I'm just going to write it off as some much-needed hibernation. I've got a busy week ahead of me: I'm working on an A1 story, doing some La Quinta Sun stories and who knows what else the week will bring?
