when the power goes back on (in this particular order):
1. wipe your tears of joy
2. run the disposal in the kitchen sink
3. start the dishwasher
4. start the washing machine
5. fill up the water bottles
6. preheat the oven to bake the sourdough for the ballet lunch
7. sit back and listen to the beautiful hum that has been quieted for too long
8. now, block out all the noise and focus on listening to the words that are bubbling up and out of your heart
