No Power

6/21/2016

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

​Well we had quite the day at my house... we had no power for about four hours!
We still have no idea what happened or why the electricity suddenly wasn't working, but we went at least four hours with no air conditioning, no clocks, and unable to use the fridge. One minute I was in my room watching "How I Met Your Mother" on my computer, and the next minute all of the lights were off and the fan had stopped turning.

Of course, the power went off a little after noon, before half of us had eaten lunch. I ended up needing to grab a bunch of things out of the fridge within five seconds to keep as much cold air in as possible, just so we could make some sandwiches.

The rest of the family spent quite a while out in the pool since there was nothing to do in the house. I, on the other hand, was able to download Netflix on my iPad, so that I could continue with my "How I Met Your Mother" marathon. I'll admit, I'm slightly addicted to this show. Anyway, I opened the curtains on my bedroom window, pulled my hair up in a bun, and hung out as we waited for the power to come back.

My dad finally took the kids out with him and went to buy dinner for everyone, since we couldn't cook anything. And wouldn't you know it, just moments before everyone came back, the power suddenly returned! We were able to eat dinner in the air conditioning and cool off after the clocks were reset. It was wonderful.

Now, as glad as I am that the power was restored finally, it's still really bugging me that we don't know what happened. All I know is that when my mom called the power company, she was told that the problem was being worked on and they were going section by section to get everyone's power back on. I don't know exactly how many people were without power today, but it must have been quite a lot if it took that long for everything to be fixed.

​Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
