I Should/could Be Worried But I Won't Be!

Got the following notice from the office:



Seems FPL wants to replace the transformer(s) before hurricane season starts.



That's a good thing BUT there goes my Thursday routine--not to mention that time ? concerns me.

First of all that means the a/c will cut off about 3 hours before I am due to get up--the nerve!! :O)

Won't have hot water to shave and shower or to make coffee/tea.

Needless to say if they run into problems--and don't they always???--will the electricity be cut off so long that my (and the birds) food will be spoiled???

Then how do I do my morning routine of checking my e-mail on the Internet and reading the NYTimes plus AllThatChat on talkinbroadway??

Wait!!! I won't be able to blog!!!! Oh my--I can already feel the withdrawal symptoms!!!

Do I do my weekly Thursday grocery shopping???

And you think we retired people don't have problems?!?!?! Oh well I may just have to disappear into an a/c movie all afternoon--life is rough!

Take a good, long, double lather shower and a real close shave BEFORE you go to bed. Put a few ice cubes in the birds' water, go for a swim yourself, take in a movie, and keep cool the best you can. If you don't think it'll scare the birds, you can always go au natural around the apartment until the AC comes back on.
