Power is out for works and that always stresses me out so badly even when it’s just a few hours. It feels like being cut off from warmth, light, and other people.

I have a solar powered lamp and some power packs but they don’t hold much charge and my phone battery drops so fast (especially when I won’t stop using it). Just waiting for things to go back to normal.

I’ve also spent the day really sick.

I’m grateful for everything I have in life. I just wish it was a bit easier.
