Haiku for You

September 15, 2008 by Maren 13 Comments

No power at home.
Cold shower No lights No fridge.
I look worse than death.

I’m now back to work.
Hiding in my cubicle.
Hoping NO ONE sees.

Flashlights and Candles.
Tuna & Tomato Soup.
I could be much worse.

Krista & her young ‘uns, Michael & I took a walk last night and were amazed at the many downed lines and trees in our neighborhood.  According to our local newspaper, more than 230,000 Louisville Gas & Electric customers were without power this morning–including us!  I’ve never seen wind like I experienced yesterday–UNBELIEVABLE.  Michael says we’re making a memory.  I just wonder when I’ll be able to degrease my hair .  We are thankful for our safety.  There are so many more in Texas without power–in a hotter climate & with more humidity, who are not even capable of taking ANY shower at all.  My brother is one of those individuals.  I keep praying for the situation down there & am comparatively thankful for ours.  If you do have electricity today, flip the light switch on and off a few times for me!

(P.S.  Isn’t it amazing how even though you know the power is out and even though you know electrical appliances won’t work , you still try to turn them on?  Why is that?  Habit?)
