:: Thankful ::

A friend of mine who also has a fabulous blog has started a post called Thankful Thursdays. While I have many things to be thankful for one particular comfort I have taken for granted until recently comes to mind. For the last few days, Brunei for whatever reason has suffered many power outages. The first one lasted about 15 hours, then 8, and now 6 hours. While the initial outages were inconvenient, now it has brought the city to almost a stop. The line ups for gas were about a mile long at one point. The water became scarce. We were frequently saying, " If it's yellow, let it mellow!" But what we missed the most was our air conditioner's. In this hot climate, it is almost unbearable to sleep without A/C. If you were brave enough to expose yourself to the mosquitoes you could get a breeze from the window. For the time being our electricity is up and running, for how long I'm not sure. My biggest worry at the moment is the party we have planned for Evan tomorrow. The party will go on, but without power our blow up waterslide and bouncy castle will lay on the lawn like a limp banana peel. Even scarier is how to entertain 15 kids without it! I'll keep you posted, but for now I am praying the problem has been fixed!
