jaunthie | Showering by candlelight

I don't know what bewilders me more:

the fact that we lost power sometime last night (unusual in the metroplex, particularly since we had no windstorm or other ususal suspect)

the fact that despite having no power (and therefore no alarm clocks) fisherbear and I woke up in time to get ready for work and meet our vanpool as usual

even in my pre-coffee state I knew exactly where to find the oil lamps and lighting implements so that we could see to get ready for work

Fortunately our hot water heater is natural gas, so there was plenty of hot water to go along with the candlelight. I couldn't blow-dry my hair, but at least I'm clean.

Definitely an old-fashioned and rather trippy way to start what looks to be a doozy of a day.
