i’ve got the power.

around 9:30am this morning i was laying in bed, when suddenly the floor fan came on. my brain, in its addled state, thought “hmm, that’s interesting. i haven’t heard that in a while.” then, suddenly, it hit me: the power just came back on! i waited 5, 10, 20 minutes before telling anyone else or believing it myself, because i didn’t trust it’d stay on. i’m still eyeballing it cautiously, but i’ve had electricity for about 3 hours now so maybe it’s there to stay. about 30 minutes ago i finally turned on my powermac. which is how i’m posting this.
the past 8.5 days without electricity has been a weird and somewhat surreal trip. which is hopefully over as pretty much everything should be back to normal for me now. it’s surprising how much it affected me. at least i assume being thrown out of my routine and not getting good sleep and not being able to do any of the things i like to do (music, movies, computers) is what did it to me. more on everything later.
