the truth is out(age) there.

Hurricanes & tropical storms always seem to blow through in the middle of the night.    
My power just went out.  
Joy.... (sarcasm)    
I'm not sure this is common knowledge, but it's still hot here.. like, I have to run my AC , kinda hot.  
No power = No air conditioning = Miserable Blue  
I'm going to do a dance (in my head) of quick power restoration to the power God's!  
I have my two extra cell batteries charged,  
as well as an extra laptop battery.    
I also have it all plugged into my portable small battery charging hub thingamajigy... lol  
Specifically for emergencies...    
Now, 'tis a waiting game.    
or - - as I like to call it,    
Fun with TECO's (Tampa Electric Company) power outage map!!    
(They started making it interactive a few years ago... bonus!)    
—tropical storm power outage humor.    
classic. *smirk    
It's barely raining and the wind is like a mild breeze...uhh, laughable...  
c'mon Eta!!.. That all you got, baby??!!?  
Why did the power go out, I wonder?    
I think it's a Trump Administration conspiracy....    
bahahahaha (couldn't resist)    
Ok, should I play a game on my phone or perhaps watch Netflix via the laptop?  
Fill my cart on Amazon with thousands of dollars of items I'll never buy??    
(one of my favorite past times) only to delete it all in defeat or defiance ( tomato tomahto)    
Maybe write some incredibly superb poetry?    
(not happening. at. all.)    
or maybe I can delve into the storm snack supply..... Nom Nom Nom.    
Either way, I'm aok, even in the dark,    
   
illuminated by my pale blue battery operated light  
   
-at least for now.
