The power in our building survived the windstorm last night. I was worried up until I went to bed. I did talk to a man on the bus home from the gym, whose power did go down in the late evening and did not come back on until the wee hours of the morning.
No more flooding as of yet in the storage area of the basement. I came over to the CP coffee shop, just to get out of the house last night. I was not expecting the live entertainment. Usually I like the music here, but I am not a fan of this particular musician. For one thing, his fan base is older than me. He does 50s bebop (badly, in my opinion), and he attempted to jolly me out of my tense mood.
I don't do perky, especially when I have legitimate worries. He came over to the couch where I was sitting, writing in my journal, obviously not in the same jolly mood as the rest of the crowd, simply wanting to be left alone.
some people simply cannot leave well enough alone. I was civil. That's an improvement.
He asked me about my mood, or something like that. I asked if he'd been outside recently, he didn't get it. I guess some people never will until a tree branch falls on or near them.
"You're spunky, " said Edward Asner's character Lou Grant to Mary Tyler Moore on her show in the 70s". "I hate spunky", he said, which she was obviously not expecting.
