Time was not on my side today. I blame a very rare rainy day in Tucson. I can’t make up the things stupid drivers did in the rain.
As I was leaving for class today there was a driver trying to make a 3 point turn by trying to drive up a stone embankment. Thankfully his guardian angel was with him because he did not flip his car as I was expecting. If the driver had just gone 50 feet further, he could have made an easy turn at an intersection. Although he did scratch up his paint. In less than a quarter mile the next driver did not stop at the stop sign and just made a left hand turn with traffic coming from both directions. It was the street right next to the middle school during morning drop off. All I can say is the angel’s were busy this morning. Not to be out done a semi was making an U-turn on an 2 lane road , blocking traffic oil both directions. After that I just tried to keep as much distance between me and every car on the road. I even left on the automated wiper system on my car so I had one less thing to worry about.
Then as we were starting to put dinner together the power went out. Again, not unusual for Tucson. Thank goodness we did not get far in the meal preparations. We did not was to open the refrigerator because we did not know how long the power would be out. By the way we were the very last block to get power back in an amazing 1 1/2 hours. This was incredibly fast.
So we went through the pantry in semi darkness. Picking out things that did not need anything from the fridge. Our first course was a salad of canned green beans and olives, surprisingly, it was very good. The next course was peanut butter, we had to open a fresh jar. We had a choice of bananas or crackers to spread the peanut butter on. We skipped dessert because all the fruit except the bananas were in the fridge. Luckily, I had filled my cup with ice and water before the power went out, and John had a bottle of water from our reserves.
I even spent some time knitting in the dark. I only dropped one stitch in seven rows. Not too bad I hope tomorrow is better..
