and the lights went out ...

i was going to read last night ... Leo was going to watch baseball ... around 6:30 the power went out ... we made a change in plans that went something like this ...

me: let’s plays scrabble ...

Leo: i’m too sore ...

me: aww come on ...

Leo: i’m nauseous too ...

me: pretty please ...

Leo: *big sigh* ... get the board

the power was off for 2 hours ...

we played scrabble for 1 hour and 50 minutes ...

our faithful feline was right there with us ... he tried to lie on top of the board ... he got into the box with the tiles and tried turning them over ... finally he just lay on his back purring, happy to be close to us ...

the score was 300 for me ... 309 for Leo ... well i did have to "let" him win (not really, it was a fair win!) ... after all, the poor guy really wasn’t feeling well, he just wanted to be a good husband ...

sometimes it is nice to have the lights go out ... we then cheerfully opt for the simpler things in life ... and find they were the more pleasurable anyway!
