Trying to get used to this again

 For a while, we weren't having significant electricity cuts any more (just the one at night between 2:30-5:30 a.m.), but for the past couple of days, we are having sporadic, totally unpredictable cuts.  Sometimes we have not micro-cuts but micro-restorations: the power flashing on for mere seconds before going off minutes, and then seconds of it on again before losing it for a lot longer.  And now the Internet provider is also having technical problems (I am paired with my phone's mobile data to make this post).  Because this has happened before, I am not sure it is tied to the earthquake, but it could be...
