A Productive Day During a Brownout: Making the Most of No Electricity

in BayaniHive4 hours ago

Hello everyone. 👋🏻

‎We had a brownout last Thursday, so we don't have an internet connection either.

‎We need to think of useful ways to spend our time instead of just sitting and feeling bored. 😅

‎My hubby started the day by filling and leveling the parts of the road. The ground was uneven and dangerous for passing vehicles.

‎Actually, this should be a proper concrete road, don't you think? 🫣 But since it wasn't being fixed, my hubby just decided to help make it safer. 👏🏻




‎After that, because the weather was so nice, we spent more time outside.




‎We did a little gardening. My hubby replanted some of the oregano, then we tied some plants to our wire fence so they could grow into a nice cover and keep the dust from coming in.





‎Then we went upstairs. I already cleaned up all the fallen leaves... And then my hubby decided to prune the trees. 🫣 He cut away the overgrown branches to keep the trees healthy, strong, and well-shaped.

‎Yeah, after pruning, there were leaves everywhere again. 🥹 Oh well, at least those trees will look better again. 😅




‎When we went back inside, I was so glad that we had our solar electric fan. It was a huge help, especially with my kids. Then I had fun with Ryzen and Aiden, played with their stickers, and put them on my nails. Hahaha... Do they look pretty? 😍



‎And of course, after all the work, we got hungry. 😆 We enjoyed the watermelon that we bought from the grocery, plus the sandwich from my sister-in-law.





‎Brownouts can be boring, but if you plan what to do, you can actually be productive and have fun. 🥰

‎How about you? What do you usually do when there's a power interruption? 😊

‎Until my next productive day...

‎‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
