Day 49 (friday)

Woke up this morning and Maureen was set on making pancakes so I walked to the kitchen and she was still around. Apparently the flour she was using was no good so she was making some maize porridge instead. She insisted that I have a bowl (i'm not the biggest fan but I ate it anyway) so I took some. She set off for campus and to organize her work and I hung around and played with the computer some more. I started to get a little hungry and was going to head to her room to warm up some food but she must have accidentally taken the key with her so I will figure out some other options (there are a few so it's not a big deal). I watched some more bad movies and have taken it easy so far but it's only noon so the day is young. I took some stuff to the kitchen to throw away because the power has gone off again and my computer was just about out of battery. I heard the phone ringing and knew that I couldn't get to it but then Maureen picked it up. I was sort of surprised by it, to say the least, and then found out that she had actually been home for a few hours. With the power being out, my options were increasingly limited so I settled for a can of beans in tomato sauce and went back to chat with Maureen for a bit and as I was talking to her, the power came back on and so it goes. More bad movies and good music followed by more time watching Zoe do her thing, I love that I get to watch clips of her. I spent a good hour or so with Cookie in the common room and she was telling me how bored she has been lately (imagine how I feel sometimes) and then started talking about soccer and was updating me on the match. The power went off again and it was really dark outside so with the exception of a few places, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. It went on and so I burned some more movies from Cookie and watched 21 jump street. The power came on just as the movie finished but it was too late to visit Maureen's room to warm up any food but I remembered that there was some bread left for a pb&j so I went to the kitchen...low and behold, there was absolutely nothing but spices left. Wasn't all that tired so I decided to take a shower and now it's on to trying to make myself tired (it's a quarter past midnight now and this is a couple hours beyond when I am usually laying down, bummer). I count my blessings though, if that is the only thing I have to complain about then I think i'll be just fine. Good night.....I hope.
