Well this one is super late tonight. The power went off around 8 pm for some reason. It went off last week in the morning for a couple of hours too, so there must be an issue in the area.
Anyway, it was off until midnight, and we spent the time playing Mall Madness and Clue by book light.
Luckily it was cooler out, so I could open the balcony door to let in some air since all the fans and air conditioning were not working.
It is so weird looking out to see a handful of condo buildings without power, and then ones literally beside them fully lit up.
Three thousand homes in the close area were affected.
I should have probably called it a night and just finished this post tomorrow, but I just wanted to get it done.
Two purchases this week were this wrap blazer that I included in yesterday’s elcetic minimalist capsule wardrobe, and this plaid zip front cardigan.
