It was blustery outside so I figured a tree fell across a line somewhere. We're in the boonies so it might take a while to get fixed. I lit some candles and started crocheting a new hat by candlelight, while waiting for Hubster to get up (he sleeps until our two terriers wake him). It wasn't long though before my phone rang and one of our church deacons told me that church was cancelled. I can see the reasoning behind it... no electricity for heating that big old sanctuary, or water for the bathrooms; no sound system or recording; not even much light in some of the dimly lighted rooms.
But still, it seemed a bit odd. I've heard of cancelling things because of snow. In this mild weather area they sometimes cancel schools and businesses because it just looks like snow. But we had no lights, that's all, no lights.
I guess I was all psyched up for Church, running through my list of things to do ahead of time. Ok, so back to my warm pjs. Soon Hubster got up, the dogs got up, and the sky started brightening up with what light the clouds didn't block. Everything normal, except I was still at home at 8:30am.
I finally let go and relaxed on my 'free' day since I didn't have to dress up, run around doing church errands, teach a class, or follow a schedule. It's been nice for a change. We had a great big ol' omelette for breakfast and a late lunch after making a pizza run while picking up some bread and milk (in case the lights go out again).
You know, I'll pay for it the rest of the week when I keep forgetting what day it is because I missed going to church today.
