The storms on Sunday took our power out in the early afternoon. Ours and I000's of others on the Bay Area. Not to mention how hard hit SoCal was, too. Boy, if only science could have warned us 20+ years ago that we were having negative impacts on the planet, well golly we sure would have done something (eyeroll). So we had no power last night, or all day today. All that being said, and annoyances with the rates and monopolistic nature of the company, I tip my hat in gratitude for the amazingly rapid nature of so many outages being address in such a short period of time. Property owners who fail to manage their tree branches growing into power lines hold at least 70% of the responsibility for this mess. My mom was out of power too but got hers back, so Jen and I went there today, so her work demands could be met. Tommy and I had a blowout this morning over his attitude. It's been awhile and it really threw me off. more than I should let it. He can be a selfish, negative and argumentative. And he was. It will happen again, I'm sure, it's my path to not accept it while not feeding it or into it either. I don't expect to live long enough to see him change the nature of his attitude towards me but I hope to live long enough to not have It hurt as much as it does, or to care, or to take it so personal. He just doesn't know what I do. Yet. And may never.
