...give up and go get Mediterranean food!

So, I've been a slacker when it comes to laundry & packing, and am not nearly far enough along in either process for me to be moving in the next 3 weeks. Today I spent the work day trying to psych myself up to a productive night, was going to do laundry and pack up clothing that I won't need in the next few weeks. Anyway, I got home, and guess what? No power. That's right, big old house is cold and dark. No heat, no power, no ability to use the washer or drier. Apparently last night's high winds, rain & tornadoes (not in my immediate area, but close enough) resulted in a power line pole (I feel like there should be a better word for that, but I don't remember it) being weakened, and then the high winds at noon resulted in the pole being in the road and the power out. When I got home at 5:15, the power had been out for 5 hours. I tried to wait it out for an hour, and no luck... the house just kept getting colder and darker. So, I found a friend to go hang out with and took Shiraz over.... we ate lentil rice, hummus, falafel, shish kabab and baklava (I'm certain I misspelled some of that). So, now I'm warm, well fed, in a well lit room, the laptop is charging and things are looking good. To top it off.... I just got word that the power is on!

The night is starting to look better already!
