Wrong

Well, a few things went wrong, and I was wrong about a thing or two, so my photo represents putting things into perspective.
Hubby was so tired he forgot to get the things I wanted him to shop for. So we did not have the meal I wanted and he wanted for breakfast. That was wrong, but not deliberate.
I was wrong about the herb class. It is next week, but I am going to Oklahoma. That is okay. I am going to a ladies' luncheon there for some fun.
The weather is stormy. All of our electrical power went out. I was going to cook something in our gas stove, but that was wrong. Newer gas stoves have electronic ignition. I could not get here to myLot, due to no power, either. Plain old wrong.
We seem to be on the right track now.
Supper is in the oven and I am online, because the power has been restored. I am thankful for all of our modern conveniences, and I miss them when they are not working. I am thankful to have power back on.
I will be checking in some more with all of you.

Hubby had a monitor go out, then after being out over a month, we had an outage last Thursday and when the power came back it did too. How weird.

I don't know about your stove, but when I had a gas stove with electronic ignition (two houses ago) I could light the burners with a match when the power was off. Never tried the oven, though.

I was needing the oven. I did not try the burners. In the oven it seemed not to even let the gas through once the electric went off.

@BarBaraPrz A hot beverage goes a really long way toward making things right.

@GardenGerty Same with the one I had. But the burners let the gas through, so I was able to have my tea.

Almost a year ago!! I wonder why I did not just go out and cook something on the grill.

@Aquitaine24 As I reread I see it was heavily storming. I think I did consider the grill.

@GardenGerty Grilling sounds good.

I think there's still a way to light a gas stove even without an electric ignition, like using a match to light the flame on the burner. It may vary by stove though.
Are things "more right" today?

Oh, I posted this today, and the power went out again right after I did. I had the oven on, but when the electric went down it went out.

@spiderdust Yes, it does. I think something about the flue allowing gas through.

@GardenGerty Oh, how frustrating! So it needs the electricity to stay on too?

It is nice to have the rain, though. My power went back out for a while.

@peachpurple No, it was not a lightning strike that cause the outage, but was strong wind at the local power station.

Times like this, make you appreciate the times things are working well, and Hey even when things are not working as well as you think they should, there is always something else out there for you to be Thankful for.

You are correct, If I look I can find something to be thankful for.

That is right. There was at least some light coming in the doors if I opened them.

@RubyHawk Our power came back just before dark. I think if it had not I would have just gone to bed.
