Since it’s the end of the month and a time for tricks or treats I’m going to treat you with an overview of how Kenya Power (our electrical company) has tricked us this month 🙂
During the month of October we have been out of electricity 14 times.  This includes outages ranging from all day to 3 hours to 5 minutes but does not include the times it “blinks” (on/off).  Sometimes (most times) I’ve called to put in a complaint other times it’s come on as I’m getting my phone to call them.  I normally only wait about 5 minutes before calling (as per their instructions) but I can say it doesn’t ever go out at an opportune time.
We do tend to rush to the showers or get on the internet and plug in electronics when electricity does come back on (especially after a several hour outage) but we’ve learned to pretty much take it in stride….get out the candles and wait it out. Â And it makes me even more thankful each day God allows us to have the convenience and comfort of electricity.
