We randomly lost power for about an hour Sunday night. Not sure what happened - it wasn't windy and we didn't hear any boom/explosion to indicate a transformer had blown, so we reported the outage to the electrical company and waited.
The really sad part, is how crystal clear it became that randomly losing power for an hour is truly a first world problem.
Why?
The first thing I did was check my phone to see the time. I wanted to make sure that it was past 7:00pm and that the outage wouldn't affect the DVR recording of The Walking Dead season finale.

Ryan was in the middle of a fantasy baseball draft so of course, our wireless modem stopped working. After several huffs and choice words (and because I'm such a thoughtful wife) I suggested using my iPhone as a personal hotspot so he could continue.
I then sat on pins and needles as my already "low battery" phone dwindled down below 10%.
Finally, I worried that the outage, causing Camden's sound machine and night light to turn off, would wake him up. So, naturally I turned on the video monitor to see if he was awake............... I bet you can guess how much visual evidence was on the other end of that monitor.
Seriously, what is wrong with me?
Take Luck,

That's weird that your power went out! We've had such good weather the past two days!
ReplyDeleteI hate when the power goes out! I am sure I handled it better when I was a kid, now I feel so lost - I don't even think we have a radio that could be powered by batteries if we wanted to!
