Ugh! Power company decided to do maintenance in the middle of a hot August day

Almost two hours without power in my New Orleans neighborhood. Four trucks are parked down the street and the whole neighborhood is getting pissed.

I can’t work because the internet is out too. My house is getting way too hot.

I have some rum in my freezer so I’ve decided to day drink. For medicinal purposes only.

I’ve been through many a hurricane. You start to feel as though things will never get back to normal.
