Come Back Home and No One There

　　I came back home after 4 days' continuous work. There was no one but Mocha, my dog. My wife will be late due to a party after the commencement of her college. I wondered if there was something to eat? Alright! Several kinds of frozen food were stored in the fridge. I plugged in the electric kettle for my tea and turned on the rice cooker. I found ash or cement like dust (maybe dead skin) on the floor and turned the roomba on. Then, I turned the laundry machine on as I was told by my wife. I set the DVD recorder for the local news. After that, I went out for a walk with Mocha. I realized that my life is really based on the stable supply of power.
　　As I wrote the other day, the scheduled partial blackout is going on in eastern Japan. Daily life would be so inconvenient.
