[Load shedding] is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown in which electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system.I have failed to respond to:

So I am doing the easiest thing I can in this situation. I am pretending that the social obligation to reply in a timely manner does not exist.
It is a shame, because for those who actually want to get in contact with me and value my company, my silence appears to be disrespectful ghosting.
Best friends will persistently message, and try other communications channels to get a hold of me. They will understand when I apologize for being so hard to get a hold of.
But good friends, new friends, long-lost friends trying to get into contact again, will not. They will back off, never to message again. Load shedding successful.
Things will improve soon, but at the moment, I'm sorry, but I just can't keep up.
