Oh… that doesn’t sound good….
It’s not, it’s very uncomfortable… and I’m typing in semi-darkness because I don’t want to turn on too many lights.
That’s not good for your eyes?
It’s only one or two nights? Maybe…?
You’re on your laptop?
Yeah. I wanted to check how much battery it has on it… I’m at 100% so it should be good.
How many hours is 100%?
Should be 12 hours?
Oh…
We’ll see if it comes to that. Hopefully not. It’s only 6:00 pm as I’m typing. There’s something in the air, I’m not the only one with headaches.
You’re not?
No. I just spoke to another friend, she is also getting headaches…
How is everyone?
Some people have other family staying with them. Most of my friends live in properties that are higher up, they are not expecting to get any water indoors. But it’s the electricity that everyone is worried about.
Oh…..
Basically I’m gonna turn off my router tonight, I’m not going to wait for the power to be cut. I might still write on mobile data, I don’t know… but it depends…
Okay, do whatever you think is best.
What I think is best is minimal electricity usage. So I’m, firstly, not a burden on the grid. And secondly, if something happens, there’s no… “sparks” or accidents? Does that make sense?
I don’t think there would be though? Aren’t there safeties in your house!?
Yeah maybe. I don’t know. I’m not an electrician PhD person. I just feel this instinctively. Maybe it’s for my own peace of mind. Basically the only things using power after I go to bed will be the fridges. If the power is out, I’m not opening them. The food should still be good overnight if I just don’t open the fridges. And then hopefully power is turned back on by day time tomorrow…
You’re anticipating that that’s what’s gonna happen?
There’s already rumours on Facebook comments. Some say it’s fear mongering, I don’t know… but I know my own house. Generally speaking. It wouldn’t hurt to turn off the router just for one night. And not use any other lights other than LED candles. And try not to use my phone so much… keep this laptop charged… until I go to bed.
Basically the cyclone is crossing land while we’re still in bed… (Maybe?!?!?!)…
So if we go to bed, don’t use electricity, wake up, and then see… see if there’s still electricity in this suburb…
That’s your plan.
That’s basically my plan, yes…
Are you gonna be bored?
Maybe… or I’ll write in my paper journal… back to writing pen on paper… I’ll write my daydreams about us. Our honeymoon, our wedding, whatever it is… if it gets to that point. Or I’ll simply go to sleep and dream… hopefully sweet dreams about you and me…
That’s your entertainment for this evening.
Yes, my darling… I’ve seen the threads previews of some conversations from your fans — I’m not clicking into any of that. I’m not downloading threads. I’m not getting sucked into any of that.
I LITERALLY DON’T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH RIGHT NOW.
(Chuckles)
Let me get through this fuckin’ CYCLONE!!!
(Wailing!) Oh my babyyyyy… I’m so worried about you!
I think I could see it… on Fernando’s face…
Yes. Fernando… that’s what we’re calling him from now on?
(Chuckles) Why not?! Fernando’s a cute name.
Okay, well… Fernando was worried, and still is…
I noticed Fernando had green eyes, too…
(Smirk) Do you like the green eyes?
Ugh — I’ll have a look at the photos again after the cyclone. I’ll wait until then to look at it all more thoroughly. It was just briefly, I have a vague memory of Fernando with green eyes… but… I can’t say for sure if it’s like “ooohhh I’m sooo attracted to the green eyes” or anything like that. Of course, always attractive — but any other comments — I don’t have those comments. Not tonight. I’m not refreshing instagram. I’m gonna TRY NOT to use my phone. Just in case.
What’s the worst case scenario?
Well — I’m charging all my phones right now, babe… if I lose electricity, internet — the only phone number I have memorised is my brother’s. He’s my only contact if ALL my internet connections fail me. I’ll just have to call him.
Why would anything else fail, though?! You have data on your phone…
I don’t know! That’s why it’s the WORST case scenario.
Okay… (sigh)… it feels so… doomsday…
It kind of is right now as I’m typing this with an LED CANDLE next to me… lol… so dramatic… and I haven’t even lost power yet, I’m just doing this to myself! (LOL)….
(Chuckles)… self-imposed lights out…
Yeah… something like that… just gonna live without electricity for maybe, 10-12 hours…
(SIGH) — Remember when I got upset — because you were going to DISAPPEAR for 10-12 hours?!?!?!?!
Yeah…..
Well — I’m not upset when it’s A REAL EMERGENCY. Or natural disaster. Something more serious. This — I can accept. Okay. You gotta go. Spare your electricity, and data. I’m okay.
You’re okay?
(Sigh) Yes. I’d rather you save your electricity and batteries and data… just go to bed… maybe I’ll try to sing to you telepathically or something…
(LOL)… okay? Sure…? I guess I can remember your voice while I fall asleep tonight… I can try to do that…
You can?
Yeah. I’m thinking of the song already. Even though I also have a headache… I think… I can just replay it, in my brain…
(LOL)… I LOVE YOU…
I love you too, xoxoxoxoxoxxx
…
…
…
I need an update by 24 hours from now, the latest…
Okay. I can promise you that. I hope. Okay. That’s my intention. It should be sooner. But if I must. Update by 6:00 pm tomorrow evening.
(BIGGEST HUGS EVER)!!! STAY SAFE MY LOVE!!!!
