  • Well that was ... fun?    o_0


    I've been having a really good day, up until about three hours ago.  My cell phone rang and my neighbor informed me that she'd been trying to call and was getting a busy signal.  Ordinarily, that would be no problem, it would simply mean that I was online ... except she knew I wasn't online because she'd seen me and the kids coming back from town.  (Had to return a video, you know.)  That was when I discovered that I had no dial tone.


    I was ON THE LINE with the phone company, when - the power went out.  Apparently not just my power, power across at least three Southern Indiana counties went down.  And it stayed down for over an hour. 


    I know that in the grand scheme of things lack of phone and power isn't something to whine and feel sorry for myself about.  But you know what?  I did anyway.  I whined and felt sorry for myself.  Only, there wasn't anyone to whine to because I'd already put the boys to bed, and I had no phone so I couldn't call anyone for sympathy either. 


    Okay, I could have used the cell phone to call someone, but really, who wants to be called just because I'm bored and have no power?  That would be a poor use of a friend, right?  Calling up just so they could entertain me while I'm sitting here in the dark with nothing to do?  Yeah, I thought so to.  But NEXT time - I'm calling you because, hey, sitting in the dark with nothing to do is really boring.
