Back From the Darkness

What a crazy weekend. I came home from UCLA on Thursday to a terrible storm which hasn’t yet stopped. My fence blew down on Friday and my dad still isn’t sure whether or not shingles blew off the roof. The trees banged against the house all day on Saturday and last night we lost power at 12:30. I was walking downstairs to go to bed right when the power cut off. I was going to brush my teeth but I had to feel my way back upstairs to find a flashlight.

What a fun experience.

I’ve been reading Walter Mosley’s A Little Yellow Dog, and for half of today I had to read it by candlelight. Candlelight may be romantic during dinner but it sure is a pain when you’re trying to read. The power came back on today around 5:30 thankfully. It has finally stopped raining but it is supposed to pick back up tomorrow. Joy.
