Last night was interesting to say the least. First, it got to 101 degrees yesterday. It was incredibly hot all day. So, we both were a bit exhausted from the heat and excited about coming home to our lovely air-conditioned home. We made some dinner, enjoyed some of Shannon’s great banana pudding, and began working on a few items that we each had to complete before work the next day. However, things changed a bit when the power went off around 7:50pm.

Our power goes off on occasion, so we didn’t think much of it. It usually comes back on within the hour. However, at 8:45pm we started to get a bit concerned. I had made the rounds to see if the neighbor’s power was out – and it was. I also had taken care of that little “Christmas light” issue (which I am sure will be discussed in the future) and came back inside to our now increasingly warm house. Finally, we admitted that we needed to go to bed – but the house was now a warm 81 degrees, and it was certainly not a good sleeping temperature. We put Nala to bed (with a little Benadryl to help her craziness that she developed after the surgery), and laid down for the night. We remained without power until 2:30am this morning. I am hoping that tonight will be a bit less eventful.
