After my sigh of relief, I find myself becoming increasingly frustrated. It's strange to realize how integral a part of my life TV has become. I always watch something when I eat, when I'm having breakfast, and much of the rest of the time as well. But those things I can do without power, how am I supposed to get a shower when there are no lights in my bathroom?
As I become more awake, I remember, it's okay, I'm playing a game. So I make a decision, when the power's out, I'm powered up. Everything I do is worth double points until it comes back on, and I find myself increasingly excited at the opportunity I have been handed. By the time the power comes back, I have eaten breakfast (2 pts x 2), done my exercise (25 pts x 2), and read for an hour (15 pts x 2). Not a bad score to start the day with.
After the power comes back, I'm still feeling it, so I start the quest Clean the Living Area of My Apartment. I get a lot of work done.
Is it all finished? No, not by a long shot. But compared to how things were looking just a day ago, this is a massive improvement. (100 pts)
The pill bug game needs work. I set the score for each pill bug at 5 points a piece. I realize this by the time I have saved the tenth pill bug (5 pts each x10 = 50pts). By the time the day is done, I have saved 48 pill bugs, that's 240 points. If I keep that set as it is, the pill bugs will by far outweigh any other activity I take part in for points.
(These are just a few of the pill bugs that I save over the course of the day.)
For now, I'm just going to have to make them 1 point a piece, that still nets me an incredible 48 points for the day. Nothing to scoff at.
My Picture of the Day, incidentally, is one of the pill bug pictures I took.
My score for the day 254 points. It's by far my high score, and considering that it's been one of my most productive days yet, I feel that I've earned it.
