I did miss one of my favorite TV shows and disappointing as that was, it was not that important in the grand scheme of it all. For the most part, our new refrigerator kept things cold and the freezer kept most things frozen, but I ended up having to throw out a lot of the food, especially the dairy, after it was all over.
This experience reminded me I need to relax and unwind without outside distractions. I realized how much I enjoyed reading a book. It was nice to enjoy peace and quiet without distraction. Sometimes I think we need to live as if we have no electricity and take time to reflect upon life and enjoy the quiet solitude of our own thoughts.
