11.1.2012 Day 3 - Cycles interrupted.

It is colder in the house when we wake up this morning. The family decides to go back to the mall to see a movie.

I can't do any computer work and the studio is mostly too cold. I eat some cheese that sat out a little too long and get a stomach ache. Later my head pounds with a migraine and I realize I haven't had coffee in two days. The whole bean 100% Kona coffee on the kitchen counter seem silly sitting next to the electric grinder. I meditate without much concentration and try to be more mindful of everything's impermanence.

When the family gets home they find me nearly incapacitated. There is a new problem. On the way home they see very long lines at the gas stations. South of us the gas pumps don't work so people are driving north and now there is no place in the area to buy gas. Our mobility lifeline is threatened. The situation seems much more serious and we decide it may be best if my mother-in-law leaves but we have to find the gas to be able to drive her to the airport.

Dinner is made from left over fridge food partially heated on the fire. Stress is at a record high. We don't know anyone who's power has been restored yet.
