Need a fresh take?

10/24/2019

Flipping the switch was flipping me out. Last week's storm left us without power.

It was Thursday morning and I was up early. Not because the alarm went off. No, it was the rain lashing against the bedroom window that woke me.

Fifteen minutes later the power went out.

It was a blackout: no power, no lights, no heat, no opening the refrigerator, and no computer.

A day and a half later (37 hours, but really, who's counting) we still didn't have power.  


But I was still flipping switches.

It wasn't that I was hoping the power was back, it was utterly clear that it wasn't. It was habit. An especially bad habit in light of things. At least a dozen times I flipped a wall switch.

And each time it was the same thing. Nothing.

It was worse than nothing. I was ready to scream. Well, I did scream. It was so frustrating.

Flipping the switch was flipping me out.
So I put my headlamp on. The headlamp gave me what I needed: a beam of light.

I stopped flipping switches.

The point is to see it fresh.
