No power

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

We lost our electricity in the middle of the night last night.  I don’t know why it happened, I have to assume that the wind blew a little too hard and knocked a tree down across the lines, or maybe a car ran into a pole and knocked the pole down.  All I know is that the electricity went off and it is still off.  I hate when that happens!

I sleep with the white noise of a fan blowing in the bedroom, and with no electricity, there is no fan.  With no fan, there is no sleep.  With no sleep, there is crankiness!  I could have turned the generator on, but it makes so much noise that I can’t sleep anyway, so I didn’t bother.  I just laid in bed and hoped I would fall asleep.  Didn’t happen.  I think I’m going to buy one of those battery operated fans so that the next time it happens I can use that for the white noise!

This may sound egotistical

Have you made any resolutions this year?  I never do.  That may sound egotistical to you, but I’m pretty satisfied with who I am.  The things I can change I have changed, the things I can’t change, oh well!  There really is no point for me to make any resolutions – I know that I’m not going to have the willpower to lose any weight or exercise any more than I do.  I don’t have to give up any vice like smoking or drinking.  I guess all I can resolve is to try to be the best person that I can be and leave it at that!  I hope other people do the same thing!
