Our Power Outages

It's thundering so my electrical power may be out again shortly. But Sherrie and Nina inquired about mental and physical "power outages," and since I've lost track of today's revisions with all my jumping up and down, I might as well try to jot a word here before the world goes dark.

Physical is easier to address. When I was in Charlotte and the weather was gorgeous 85% of the time, I'd walk through our lovely tree-lined neighborhoods. Walking invigorates me when it's not a hundred degrees humid outside, as it is now. Now that I'm in St Louis, I do my walking on a NordicTrak down in the basement, where it's lovely and cool. I have a book rack attached to the bar and read while I exercise. I used to have a TV where I could watch the news while I was at it, but we haven't run a cable downstairs in this house. So now I just do basic exercises while watching the news. Still doesn't help those mid-afternoon sleepies. That's when I do e-mail. "G"

Chairs are definitely a rant for another day! And so are mental power outages, since the thunder seems to be directly overhead. I'll be back... Be very afraid!
