Current Events: Post-Hurricane Update, Day 4

Following 4 days without refrigeration, hot water and internet porn, in the middle of the night power was restorted to my area! In the course of returning from a zombie-like bathroom break, I noticed an unusual blue glow by my bed, and not-so-quickly realized that it was my electric-powered alarm clock (flashing 2:38). Needless to say, the return of power has provided a huge sense of relief and a feeling that my life, at least, is headed back in the direction of normalcy.----------- In the meantime, work has lost its sense of urgency. Courts are closed throughout the tri-county area; no hearings are taking place, nothing is being filed and no cases are moving forward. Also, with the all the difficulties that the area is experiencing, I really don't feel like suing people right now, or arguing over discovery responses and the like. I guess this is just another manifestation of the sense of suspended reality that has temporarily enveloped the region.------------ For now, then, things are back enough to normal for me such that this will be my final post-storm update in the absence of any breaking stories.
