Adventures without power!

When I got home from yoga last night, I discovered that the power was out. Thanks to the full moon, I had no troubles getting from my car into the door. I was able to use the light from my phone's screen to get into the hall closet to retrieve the battery-powered lantern. Unfortunately I then dropped the lantern, which caused it to stop working. I took the batteries out and put them into a new lantern I'd just gotten earlier this week and that didn't work either. So I found a flashlight and used that as my primary light source.

I was hungry for supper so was thankfully able to pull together a salad with some veggies in the fridge. It wasn't what I'd had in mind but it did the trick. There was nothing else to do after that but crawl into bed... but YAY for my new iPad as I was able to watch a movie in bed. I realized how spoiled I am - between the iPad being nearly fully charged, and my Kindle with its booklight, I had plenty to keep me occupied despite no power!

I'm tired today - 5 yoga classes in 4 days might have done that - I think I will skip a studio session today and crack open the DVDs I bought while I was in Canada. It's a set of 6 DVDs arranged so that you can have a practice every day with one rest day a week. I think these will be nice to have when I can't or don't want to get to the studio.

No big plans for tonight... which is a relief... I still have one suitcase left to unpack so that might be the excitement. I am tired and have been fighting off a sore throat all week. Tomorrow is full of fun - massage, yoga, acupuncture, coffee, airport pick-ups! I plan to make some lasagnas tonight as well, to feed the Babbs and the Yachyshyns when they return from their holidays this weekend. xo
