Disruption in the routine

This morning I received a text from the apartment company stating that power would be intermittent today. Between when I drink my morning tea and when I make my coffee to take to work, the power did indeed go out. Without coffee to bring along, I bought some at lunch from the bagel shop on the ground floor of the building I work in. When I got back in the evening, the power was still out. I didn't want to open my fridge and I couldn't cook anything anyway, so I walked over to McDonald's for dinner. Some time after I returned, a buzzer started sounding: the fire alarm. Several fire trucks arrived, and after consulting with the electrical workers, they learned that the alarm was just because the fire system ran out of battery. They were able to silence it temporarily, but it's still going now, though everything is fine and people are back in the building. Amid the alarm the electricians got power restored. Fortunately my frozen items seem to be still frozen solid.
