The power has been out for 14 hours. I’m so hot it’s ridiculous. One of our fire alarms is periodically beeping because it’s malfunctioning. Wind whips so hard through the storm shutters that they bang and whistle. I’m charging my phone on my laptop the best I can. The house is a dark, humid, hot box. I long to get out but theres nowhere to go.
Angelica gifted me a set of stick-on earrings she feels too cool for now. I love them! As I told her, “Let me guess. You’re at the age where you think you’re too cool for sticker earrings. While I’m at the age where I realize you’re never too cool for sticker earrings. So I’ll keep them.” Today, I wore a pair of blue sparkly heart earrings until my sweat made them come off. Probably tmi, but the tropics is not where you want to be without air conditioning.
I’ve written some poetry today, but I hope to write more. Being unmedicated (I ran out of meds 4 days ago) is not easy. My Bipolar medications do not truthfully work well anyway, but I still feel a difference without them. Especially trapped in the dark like this.
The dogs don’t want to to outside and go potty. I think the two smallest fear they will blow away!
