8 thoughts on “Weekend Plans Post: You say, “Why?” And I say, “I don’t know”

  1. Last Saturday night, most of Tulsa lost power in a thunderstorm with 100+ MPH winds. We got ours back on Wednesday evening. We got the text from the power company letting us know right before we got to the gas station to get gas for our new generator.
    This weekend will involve refilling the refrigerator, catching up on chores that couldn’t be done without power, and getting the yard cleaned back up. I also plan to return the 1-gallon gas cans I got because they were out of the larger ones.
    Other than that, I plan to enjoy having lights and air conditioning without stressing out about whether my phone battery is nearly dead.Report

    1. …without stressing out about whether my phone battery is nearly dead.

      When I was convincing my wife that we should drop our landline, I had to do the calculation that we could recharge a phone battery at least 10 times from the smaller car before we had to even begin to worry about running that battery down to the point it wouldn’t start the car. Also that we could then open the garage door and run the car for 20 minutes to recharge its battery.Report

  2. I dunno. It suddenly turned death-hot here. I got the lawn mowed yesterday, during a brief lull yesterday morning when it was below 85 F. Today I have to finish the prep for next Monday’s class. But I’m also unmotivated; heat has a way of doing that to me.

    I miss having cats around. I have allergies bad enough that I know living with one or two would make me miserable most of the time, and I’m also not home a lot and have a house cram-jammed with stuff they could get lost underneath/behind or that they might destroy in one of several ways. Maybe someday, maybe if I get my act together and really do get rid of half the junk I own as I often threaten to do. But I do miss having another living being around (plants are a live but they don’t really count)Report

      1. This has been the worst week since I dunno.

        Seriously. I walked out of the Humane Society with three kittens thinking “this might be the fourth or fifth dumbest thing I’ve ever done.”

        And today I am so amazingly grateful that we adopted these little guys.Report
