You may recall that I am not able to sleep in pitch darkness. Or even just regular darkness. I always need at least a soft glow from somewhere so I can see SOMETHING when I open my eyes during the night (which happens pretty much every night). Hence my purchase of little plug-in night lights for beside my bed after I moved to the new Casa Azahar. So imagine my panic when I saw a notice posted in the lift yesterday saying that the electricity will be cut on my street, and two neighbouring streets, tonight between midnight and 3 am for some upgrading of the system. Whatever. All I could think was… IT’S GOING TO BE PITCH BLACK. GAAAAAAAAHHHH.
But I think I have a plan to get myself through this. Okay, the obvious one would be just to go to bed before midnight and not wake up again until at least after three, but I just can’t trust that I won’t wake up at, say, a quarter to three and go GAAAAAAAAHHHH.
So I have been busy charging ALL my devices, along with an external battery, and will also bring my laptop into my bedroom (battery in that one is good for at least a few hours) and fall asleep with it turned on. And of course my trusty iPhone will be by my side, along with a cat or two. Wish me luck!

Rewatching GoT with Loki on a Saturday afternoon…
It occurred to me as I was placing an order for cat food delivery this week that it was high time Loki (7 almost 8) was switched to “mature” food. And Luna (6 and a half) isn’t that far behind him. But Morcilla (4) is still a kid. So now the fun begins. I’ve mixed one bag of Young with Mature and this 50/50 mix will serve as transitional food for the oldsters. Meanwhile, Morcilla will stay on the Young food as much as possible … for the next three years! My schedule is too crazy to keep to three separate feeding times, so doubt they will munch on each others’ bikkies now and again at midday, but at least morning and evening Morcilla will have her higher-calorie food served separately.
