power outage

I was going to wait a few days before updating this thing again (I’ve been on a posting streak lately) but I feel like typing about our morning. Apparantly, we were without electricity all night and the cats never once told us! David’s alarm went off at 5:15 and it was the single solitary working electrical device besides the flashlights. At 5:15 in the morning, it was a curious mystery that only those three things worked. Eventually we figured out that all those things were run on batteries. Needless to say, the power came back after we had both gone through the trouble of getting showered and dressed by candlelight and after David manually opened the garage door to get his car out. The entire complex was out, courtesy some wild driver who hit a power line around 10:30 last night. Thursdays are very very light workday for me and I am able to drive back home around 9 a.m., and this morning, there were very many late people leaving the complex around 9 a.m. At least they got a good nights’ sleep!
