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...

It is colder these days, so I would like to be able to turn on the heat.  Alas, although we have a gas furnace, it needs elec to run.
 
BUT! We have a home with standing walls, a roof and unbroken windows; we have warm clothes to pile on; and we have a gas stove to cook and heat water on.  We have more blessings than we can count.

I am very glad you're safe and well, which I know is not the case for many-many---but I also want you to be comfortable, so I pray that the electricity situation stabilizes. At least we're heading toward warmer weather... [ETA: eventually!]

And may your blessings continue. *hugs*
