A Power Outage Can Be a Good Thing

Well, I just woke up from a half an hour nap - I feel refreshed! It appears that a power outage can be a good thing after all. You see, at 5:00pm today, my electricity in my whole house went off. I was in the middle of working on my computer when the power died ... the air turned off ... & the TV went dead! Initially, I was ticked off but since all the rooms had no power - I didn't even think of checking the "power breaker" in the back of the house.

Ok ... so there are no lights ... I am bored ... I lay down on the couch - i close my eyes and take a nap. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz .... 30 minutes later, I feel the sweat dripping from my forehead - it is HOT in here with no airconditioning or fan going on. I get up and ask my daughter to check the neighbors to see if their power is OFF too. No one is home - *sigh*.

I decide to call the power company and complain. The customer service rep was quite pleasant and she walks me through how to work my magic on the "power breaker" - I pressed a bunch of buttons and voila - POWER! YES! For some reason, the power breaker was messed up for a while - I am happy now - the electricity is back on. The airconditioning is back on ... I can blog again - YAY! PLUS - I was able to nap for half an hour which I hardly do - I feel so refreshed. I love Happy endings!
