Well.... my Mexico saga continues. I had a long day and got home around 9pm, just in time for my massage. After my massage I was feeling better and more relaxed of course but just not ready for bed so I decided to try out my washing machine with a load of towels. (interesting machine, it is a super efficient state of the art combo washer/dryer. lots of buttons/options, of course all settings are in Spanish so that took me a few minutes to fgure out).
anyway - my load of towels finished around 11pm, no problem. All was well up until that point - I was feeling very productive and homey - sitting in bed reading a book, drinking a glass of wine, and just chilling out for the first time this entire week. Enjoying that post massage feeling of relaxation. I should have known it wouldn't last!
I went to start the dryer portion and immediately my lights went out. Evidently the dryer starting blew out my breakers... so I go downstairs to the parking garage and wake up the onsite guy who lives down there. He comes up to my apt and tries to reset breakers, no luck. Goes outside to the main box and tries the same thing, no luck... by this time it is after midnight and it is obvious that it is not getting handled tonight. He goes back downstairs and brings me up a tiny little flashlight and promises that the electricity would be handled tomorrow...
so this morning I took a shower in the dark by the light of the flashlight, drove to work with wet hair, and said adios to all the groceries in my fridge that I had just bought Tuesday night....
we'll see if I am hanging out in the dark tonight or not.... I am not optomistic about things getting fixed today.

Its good to keep up those in-case-I-need-them skills. You know the scenarios we played as kids. I better practice writing with my left hand in case I lose my right one. It was good you took a shower in the dark in case you live in a primitive home.
