I'm dreaming of a warm after-Boxing Day
We *just* got our power back on and it's been out since before I woke up this morning. It's so nice to be warm again :)
When I woke up, I was really grouchy 'cause I wanted to sim some more today, especially since I spent all last night making plans. Well, that obviously wasn't going to work, so I moped around for awhile until Mom said she was going out. I immediately jumped in the car with her and spent all day returning things in warm stores. (Off topic, but now Diana can sit in the front seat of the car; I didn't remember that the back seats sucked as much as they do.) When we came home, the power still wasn't on, and we had to call all of Diana's friends and tell them that her Birthday Party was canceled. She's been really upset about all this, but we ordered pizza while lighting candles. One of her friends was going out of town, so we invited her over and played a rousing game of Cranium.
I always knew I was computer-reliant, but I never realized it was as bad as it is until the electricity was gone. Everything I could think of to do except reading, drawing and interacting with the family (gasp!) involved electricity. It was weird to sit down and eat dinner and play a game with my family. We never do that when we're at home. We've created a monster. Can't live without these inventions, but in the end, when they're gone, we will have killed ourselves.
