I got out of bed and looked outside. I couldn't believe how high the tide was. The water was covering most of the spit and all of the big rock on the beach. We have never seen the tide so high. I took pictures and will have to put them on here so you all can see just how high it was. Apparently it's suppose to be just as high tomorrow. Tyler wants to park the car at the end of the spit so it looks like it's floating on water.
I was eating my granola and surfing the internet before Edmonton noon news came on. Once all the tops stories were finished, I started on the few dishes from last night. I did dishes 3 times yesterday and still had to do them today and I don't know how that happened. I'm convinced Tyler goes through the cupboards and just uses dishes so I have more to do the next day :)
I sat down and started to read a new book. I picked up "The Five Love Languages" again just for something to read to Baby J. The points the author touches on are insightful and educational but I'm finding it's not well written. Maybe I'm just not use to his writing style but it's kind of tough to read because I feel like this author almost talks to you like you are 10 years old, like you don't understand the point he is making so he has to give so many examples just to drive it home. It's annoying.
I took a shower about the same time Tyler came home but was done soon enough to enjoy lots of time with him. He said his day was like every other day, just trying to keep busy while passing the time. It's never very busy for him when the weather is windy and gloomy. He went back to work and I tried to figure out how to spend my afternoon.
I did my work out while once again watching the outside world go by. I wasn't in the best of moods today so I spent my time trying to figure out what was up and trying to cheer myself up. Maybe I'm not getting enough vitamin d because we haven't really seen the sun too often. Maybe I'm slightly anxious about getting home. I'm not sure but I wrote in my journal while snuggling with Kitten.
I had the tv on as background noise while I surfed the Internet some more. I was looking up baby stuff and that made me happy. It usually does. I love seeing how the little peanut is growing. My favorite thing is that if Baby J decides to come any time now, it has a very good chance of surviving. Of course there would need to be medical interventions but at least it would survive. That brings great comfort. We are 100% sure it won't come that early but you never know.
I started to make dinner which was smoked salmon BLTs on bagels. It was super easy to make and oh so good. I also gave some salmon to TK who had been outside all day so I know she didn't eat anything.
Tyler came home and we ate our dinner. He got called to work shortly after we sat down but we finished our meal before he went in. It wasn't an emergency.
Once he got home again he had to study. He wasn't motivated at all but knew he had to so he went into the room. I was cross stitching and watching my favorite Christmas movie "Elf". That made me feel really great. Soon after Tyler went into the room, the power flickered off. And then it came back on again. And then off and on again. And then it went off for good. Tyler came out of the room and we lit some candles. We continued to study and cross stitch by candle light and we also brought out a wind up lantern that we bought for times like this.
Our friend Jessica was going to come over to watch some Thursday night tv with us but now we weren't sure if she would show up.
We waited until 8pm and heard a knock on our door. She had come over because what else there to do by yourself when the power is out. She had a salmon bagel and we sat and talked for a while. We decided that we would play some phase 10. We moved the candles to the dinning room and started our game. We did more talking then playing. It was a great evening and it really turned my grumpy day around.
Jessica just left and now we are getting ready for bed. Still no power and no heat but it's not that cold yet. Kitten is running around but we are sure she is just playing and not trying to keep warm. I'm sure she will be joining us in bed tonight.
I hope the power isn't off for too long. I don't remember what items are still on so if the power comes on in the middle of the night, who knows what will happen. I'm sure the tv is off so at least there won't be noise.
It's off to bed now. This is all typed on Tyler's phone so hopefully there isn't any misspelled words.
