Yesterday the power went out.

For the next 22 hours my day was this:

Make a fire

Boil hot water on the stove

Make tea

Realise the car is stuck in the garage, so no escapes

Read a book

Make some soup on the stove

Listen to an audiobook while eating soup

Clean the kitchen

Read more book

Make more tea

Drink a beer

Read

Prepare candles

Eat more soup

Drink wine

Listen to audiobook by candlelight

Go to bed by 8.30pm.

Thank goodness my power came back on this morning--my life is truly fueled by electricity.

I challenge you to try no power for 22 hours...you will cherish your luxuries.

It's Valentine's Day.

Today Chai cat and I took a nap in a sunny spot in the house.

Then I made a ginger cake, which I might end up eating every crumb of.

Now I might take a trip to the dollar store. Just because.

I spoil. Myself.

I went to the woods.

This is a stroll I took this week through the trees and by the river.

Peg it out.

I made this peg bag because I couldn't find one in the shops over here. I think everyone uses their tumble driers.

I can't wait for summer to use it.

Recently my days have been filled with watching way too much Keifer Sutherland. A 7-day loan at the library is not very realistic to finish a whole season of 24. But I did it.

home is wherever i'm with you

Today's task was to buy a ticket to travel home and to North Carolina next month.

Done!!
