I love life...Life loves me...me and Life are not living harmoniously :o)

Lights went out Wednesday morning about 3:00 AM. I have a not too big of a tree limb on the wire from the pole to the house, but it didn't cause the lights to go out because I heard it crash and was up to report it when the lights did go out. It was weird Wednesday morning, to lay there in bed and about every 10 - 15 minutes you would hear another crash from a tree losing a limb. It is very sad too to think of all the trees that have been lost.

John and I stayed at Beth and Alan's Wednesday night. Beth fixed us chili, and John some chicken strips. We were a little worried about the sump pump because the alarm went off on it because the water was getting high. We emptied it, and it filled back up pretty fast, so we emptied it again. Then, since it is uphill from the drain I put a lot of towels down to try and direct it to the drain. But it didn't back up anymore.

So I figured I had to suck it up and go into work on Thursday. It was a terrible day. The Testing system which went down on Monday was still down. Took about 15 minutes to fix once I got hold of the manager. then everything I was looking at wasn't working.

Good news was that Accenture, our contractor, had 4 apartments where the contractors where leaving today for the weekend and they offered to let people without power stay in them until Sunday. So I got one. And when I got off work, I went home, packed a bag, then went over to Beth's again for dinner. Chicken quasadilla's. And I learned a new trick to give them a little kick (cream cheese and green chili's). Pretty good.

So I am in a Galt House apartment. It is a two bedroom. I believe it is larger than my house on the main floor. Hopefully the power will be back on, otherwise John and I will be begging again. The house was 42 degrees this morning.

But, it could always be worse, so I am thankful it isn't.
