Getting Little Kat

Today Momoko informed me I would need to pick up Little Kat from school. Normally I have to work late every night to keep up with all the work. But I told everyone I had to leave early today. I kept a close eye on the clock. I was not too ambitious with my work. Priority 1 was to leave on time to get Little Kat.

Traffic was good. I got to the school early. So I broke out the newspaper and read all the headlines. By the time I was done and went over to Little Kat's school, I was still 5 minutes early. Good timing!

They let the kindergartner's out of class first. They get escorted to the buses. I guess they don't want the real little ones getting lost in the commotion. It was good to hear the announcement that "walkers" were being released. That meant Little Kat. I saw him shortly after that. We even beat Kit Kat home. That's a first. Now it is time for us to do our housework. Hurry home Momoko.

Power Failure

This morning I awoke and knew something was wrong. There were no numbers displayed on my digital clock. It took a while in my dazed state to realize that the power had gone off in the house.

I did my best to get ready in the dark. At least there was still some hot water available. I called up the power company. They said somebody already called in the problem. As I opened the front door, I saw the utility guy working in the street.

Still I was not sure when we would get power back. The electric company said it might be a couple hours. To me that meant they did not know how long it would take to fix. I was glad to see our lights on when Little Kat and I returned home in the afternoon.
