Today was my day off and I had plans.
Plan A was do laundry (not incredibly exciting but it needs to be done) but I woke up to cold pouring rain- which means even if I did my wash, it would never ever dry (or at least not before it started to stink) so that plan was out.
Plan B was to go to the Meat Market today but it was pouring down rain so hard that this was going to be a nightmare of a trip into town, around town and then back to my house- Meat Market was out.
Plan C was edit photos- I took a ton of pictures this weekend and I had a whole day to play around with them- adjusting color, contrast, all that fun stuff. But the power was out when I woke up. I waited around for 2 hours but it didn't come back (which usually means its out for the day).
So I moved on to Plan D, go to a cafe that has internet AND power outlets to check my email and charge my computer. I got to the cafe (walking in the rain most of the way) only to find it packed (I ended up running into my roommate and a friend who let me share their table) but the cafe had turned off their internet. So I left.
Plan E was go check out a different cafe that also has power and internet (allegedly). I got there, it was also full but I ran into another friend who had a table and she let me share the with her and another dude. I thought I'd made it. Electricity. Internet. Friends- great way to spend the day off. 15 minutes after I sat down, they turned off the internet (because it was lunch time and getting crowded). 5 minutes after that, they turned off the power outlets. So now there's no point in staying there. Time to move on to Plan F.
Plan F- go see a movie and hope that the electricity will be working by the time I get back (because I am officially out of options at this point). This one actually worked out partially. The movie theater was in fact showing movies. I was able to watch one. But when I got home, still no electricity. So I'm on to Plan G.
Plan G- Sit and stare at the ceiling until the power comes back on? or maybe I should cook a ton of stir-fry- then I won't have to cook lunch all week long.... hmmm that's a good plan.
6:45pm power comes back on. I have lunches made for the entire week. At least I accomplished something today!
