Title: I miss electricity
Post by: Julie on September 15, 2008, 09:55:38 AM: The power is out in most of my city. Luckily it's on at work, but I was starving until this morning because all of the shops are closed. I work at a hospital, so they have a cafeteria where I could get disgusting food for breakfast, which is better than no food. But it's greasy and makes my stomach hurt! And I didn't have a hairdryer this morning or any light for putting on make-up. How can I make sure my zits are covered if I can't see? Yesterday, I started listening to a really stupid audiobook and everything went out just when it started to good. And I wanted to keep listening to it! Plus, what's worst of all, is that I realized how incredibly selfish and spoiled I am. I mean, if I were going to do something about it, then it would be a good thing to know, but I'm not going to do anything about it and it makes me hate myself. I hope I forget when the power comes back on.

I'm glad our giant old tree fell on the neighbors house a few months ago because I just wouldn't want to deal with that today. One of the trailers I work in had a bunch of stuff blown off it, so I got to see the wheels. I didn't know trailers had wheels.

It just sounds so strange. How could this kind of weather hit half the Buckeye State? I want some answers from the weather people. In the meantime, fare thee well, Julie, I hope you and your stuff and your people are ok.

Post by: Julie on September 17, 2008, 08:49:49 AM: I still have no electricity! I forgot to think of bringing my laptop to work until I got to work, so I can't listen to last night's show. And my bakery still has no power, so I've been buying something to eat at the hospital cafeteria every morning. And it's so gross! Feel sorry for me. Also, please admire my toughness to get through this ordeal.
