Powerless

Our apartment complex lost power for about three hours this evening. It amazed me how much I have come to rely on electricity, but how enjoyable life can actually be without it. After a delicious dinner of McDonald's (I was oh so disappointed that I couldn't cook), I spent the powerless hours relaxing on the couch with my wonderful book. And while I admit the television came on shortly after the power was up and working, it was great having a few hours where life felt a little more simple, where life moved at a slower-pace.
