Powerless

So if you read the previous entry you know I was rear-ended on tuesday morning. (Speaking of days of the week, I've been so confused on what day it was all week. I kept thinking yesterday was tuesday, I guess because tuesday felt so much like a monday...) Anyway, I'm alright, my neck is a little sore, I should probably call the doctor right now and try to get an appointment, blah blah. But on top of all that, tuesday night about 7:15 pm our power went out. We'd actually gotten through the worst of the storm that had started a little after 5:30 (just after I got home and was able to tape a drop cloth over the gaping hole in the back of my car, natch) and my mom and I were watching Sister Act 2 when the power suddently went out. Gaaaah. It was out for 25 and a half hours. We haven't gotten to go through the freezers yet, hopefully some of it is salvageable...what a pain. Although I did get to break out some of my very nice smelling candles and attempt to read by candlelight.

We ate outside cause obviously no air was moving inside...it's eerie how quiet a house/neighborhood can be when there's no power. Also no fan at night to provide white noise. Needless to say I didn't sleep well that night, what with the silence and my neck being sore.

but all's well...it came back on while we were eating dinner, of course less than an hour after my dad had gone to the store so we'd have something to eat and some ice to keep the leftovers from going bad...I love irony, really. Good thing, because there seems to be a lot of that lately...

I think I've had a great week, don't you?
