Enjoy the dark

My power is out right now and scheduled to be out for about 28 hours. I’m sitting in the dark. My mom called me to recommend a TV show but when she found out my power was out, she didn’t want to talk too long so that she wouldn’t use up my phone battery and as she hung up, she said, “Well, enjoy the dark.” And that’s what I’m doing. Cold showers, lighting my stove with a match, eating perishable food, walking by moonlight, and being grateful that toilets don’t need power. My wife left with the kids to save the ice cream, but I’m enjoying the dark. It’s nice enough that it’s probably worth doing on purpose. Enjoy the dark. It’s not as bad as they say.
