Failed to Beat the Power Outage

Yesterday morning, I was rushing to post this because of the announced electricity supply cut-off at 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. I was encoding this, and had not finished yet, when the power went off. So I was not around the whole day, and till night because I had other things to do. Now it is my time to share this and read your posts as well. Power failures restrict some of our activities, though we can be creative in making the most out of it. How was your day?

That must have been so frustrating for you. Ingrid always told me about her power shut downs. I'm sure you are happy to be back!

@acelawrites I'm sure those advisories are very helpful. At least it's all over now and here you are!

It is the local power supplier that had some problems regarding upgrading and maintenance activities. Am glad they always have an advisory when there's brownouts.

I am sorry to hear that, it is the worst to lose power. I thought we would too when the weather got really bad. But we didn't. Sunshine all day today.

It would be so hard if there's snow and so cold in your place!

I'm sorry you weren't able to beat the power outage. That's a really long one. I was working on a Sunday.

My day has been good despite being housebound by the bad weather. I'll likely be losing my electricity at some point either today or tomorrow because of the snow, sleet, and rain I've been dealing with all day.

I thought it is just us here who is always experiencing such brownouts. Bad weather are really affecting our activities; hope it would not last long.

It can be very annoying when the power goes off. Luckily it doesn't happen here too often.

We also experienced power interruptions , not only power also water, so disgusting feeling whole day no water and current.

We can tolerate to have no electricity for some time, but no water for a day could be so hard!
