Do you think you know pressure? Do you?
Today while I was working on the pressure show for tomorrow, my computer shut down. It wasn't just my computer - the electricity in the entire house turned off. I went outside - fearing I might not have paid a bill recently - & everyone was walking outside, asking what happened?
The power was off for six hours. My phone was at less than 20% battery power. I realized late into the process I could charge it in the car but I didn't want to sit in a hot garage. Why sit in a hot garage? We have an electric garage door opener. Oh I figured how to open the damn garage "manually." It didn't charge the phone fast enough. It wasn't fun, sitting in a car. I played sudoku. I tried to call the power company to get information about the outage.
No one answered at the power company. I was on hold for half an hour. I gave up. I tried to nap. I read an entire issue of Harper's.
I was stomping around outside, wondering if I could drive somewhere with my computer - which had my show on it, remember - & work on it in a coffee shop with free wi-fi or something. Then the neighbors said, "Hooray!" I looked in one of my windows. The ceiling fans were turning again.
Six hours! I nearly went mad. We still don't know what happened. Will we ever?
Think I'll talk about this on the show? Maybe. Maybe not.
The show is on tomorrow morning from 7:30 to 9:00 am on 88.1 fm WRFL in Lexington. Online it's a-streaming everywhere at WRFL dot FM. I feel a lot of pressure to put it up later in the day at the Self Help Radio website. It's the sort of pressure that never goes away.
