Today our city had no power for 8 whole hours. That is 8 hours that I didn't know what to do with myself. The city seemed so quite and for the first time I realized how beautiful yet irritated nature can be. For 8 long hours I heard 4 different bird species chirp and sing with no end in sight.

So the power went out at 9 and I immediately thought I don't need the power because I have a laptop. And Wifi would not be a problem. I will just use my mobile as a hotspot.

So I went to open my laptop feeling all badass and thinking it can not get any worse cause I got it all planned out. But the universe replied with a big ol' fat NO. My laptop started up and at the same time it notifies me that a power source is needed as it has only 12% battery life left.

I was devastated !Who wouldn't be ?

I spent at least 6 hours catching up on my napping (last napped in kindergarten) and the rest I spent thinking about new ideas which in my opinion is called investing in yourself.

It was the worst 8 hours of my life

What do you guys think ? Can you go 8 hours without electricity ? And if so what would you guys do ?

I would like to hear from fellow Steemians. Let me know down in the comments below.

Just to point out : I fractured my back while playing rugby and I have been on bedrest for a few months and only recently started to do my rehabilitation. So I can't as of yet go outside . I am glued to my bed
