My days are pretty well set out ahead of time. I try to keep interruptions to a minimum, but sometimes they're unavoidable. Your power outage reminded me of Hurricane Gloria back in the day.

I was in the middle of painting & suffered a long, severe bout of vertigo that left me in tears. I couldn't do anything for a while--not even move my eyes. I don't really want to work on the painting now much anymore.

With kids, I know it is inevitable to have frequent routinous interruptous.
