If a tree falls on a power line …

at 4 a.m., does Debbi get any sleep?

You can bet she doesn't. And since power wasn't restored until 10:45 a.m., I'm well into my routine du jour, and not really in a blogging mood.

If only I'd kept up with my Mother Earth News subscription I'd be off the grid by now.

I'll try to catch up tomorrow. Your comments were thought-provoking, as always, and I don't want to ignore them.

Oh that sucks when that happens. In our neighborhood, they buried the power lines so we don't have to worry about them going down near us, but at least once a year a transformer or some such blows and we lose power. When I was a kid growing up in the country, we lost power at least once a month, it seemed. Yeah, off the grid would solve that problem, but can you imagine having a real Ice Box instead of a Fridge? And no internet? And no air conditioning? Oh, the humanity.

Hope you get some rest today/tonight.

You know I can't say enough good things about strength training. I have often been disappointed in the results of various regimens and dietary escapades, but I've always been pleased with my fitness gains from weight lifting. Also I highly recommend the body-weight turbulence workouts, especially for anyone who doesn't want to invest in weights or gym membership. He posts various workout routines on his blog now and then. SOmetimes I have to google to figure out what a particular exercise is, but it's worth the few minutes...

Good luck with your muscly training, you will be a goddess in a few weeks!
