Power Outage
Last night, around 7:20pm, the power goes out. No warning from the power company, no nothing, the power just goes out. Well, I have a backup battery for my desktop, so I thought the power would go back on, but it didn’t. So the power to my computer finally got cut, but that was just the start of it!
The power didn’t get restored until 11:30pm last night. It was off for about 4 hours. My sister and I were in the middle of a Mario Karty on N64 game and the power zipped out, we were annoyed. We started setting up candles and flashlights. After doing that, we started playing some cards and then ordered pizza, it was fun :) But not too long after playing cards, we realized the house was quiet. Usually there are little kids running around, aka our cats, and it was all too quiet. Sure enough, we look at the back door, and it’s open. Our cat Olivia had opened the door because she’s such a smart kitty. She knows how to open the screen with her claws and let everyone out. We had to go gather all the cats, well, 3 of the 4, and finished that in about 10 minutes.
We came back and then only to still have no power (this is at around 10:30pm). My sister finally went to bed and I stayed up for a little bit talking to Laura V. and it was good. Finally, about the time I getting ready to go to bed, the power came back on and I stayed up until 2:30am playing Starcraft because I finally got it working. And yes, Starcraft is one of the best old school games out there! Well, that’s what my day was like yesterday, all was good :)
