I’m writing this on my phone, as I’ve been without power since 10:30 last night. Almost 24 hours now. We had some storms yesterday, downed power lines and shit. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night because it was too hot/dark/quiet to sleep. Mostly hot. No electricity means no air conditioning. It has been ungodly hot.

I’ve been fighting against boredom because boredom is dangerous. Last night I drank a bottle of cough syrup to pass the time. Today I tidied, and read, and ignored the call of the pseudoephedrine in my bedroom. I’m hot enough as it is; I don’t need to make it worse. I went to see the "new" x men movie for the second time. It was good. Entertaining. Air conditioned. It is getting dark out. I sent sister’s bf to the store for some food to grill and some beer. Getting sauced may pass the time until the power is back on. Or it may help me sleep if the power isn’t back on soon. I thought my days were boring before. At least I still have running water.

I only want to end myself a little bit today. So there’s that as well.
