A Bit Spoiled
The current is out. This is essentially a daily occurrence. I am very fortunate to be able to sleep and work in an air conditioned room (the only one in the flat). But today the power has been off for a number of hours–since before I woke up–and I am having to “rough it” without A/C or even a fan.
It’s one thing to venture out in the heat for ten minutes to go to the uncle’s house for lunch. He doesn’t have an air conditioner, but at least he has good fans. And we never stay longer than a couple hours before returning to our air conditioned oasis. Trying to get work done when the heat tugs you toward lethargy, even in the coolest room in the place is something different altogether. I guess I have been taking the cool for granted.
Update: Prinall said that the power will be off until six PM. I guess they do this monthly for various repairs and such.
Update: The power came back on at five thirty for about an hour, went off for ten minutes, then came back on. Oy vay…
