So I'm writing an entry, sweating blood, BLOOD I'm saying, because I love you all so much, and I'm working and sweating and I was brilliant. BRILLIANT. And I had saved a part of that brilliant entry half-way throught because see? Brilliant. And then the electricity goes out, but not just OUT, it goes out on the half of the house where the computer is. I can count on one hand with three fingers tied down just exactly how many times the electricity has gone out in this house due to a raging storm outside and is there a raging storm today? No. No there is not. And not only is there no electricity on this side of the house, there IS electricity on the other side, which is just confusing. So I check the breakers (which, translated, means I have my son check the breakers because I am all about delegating), and the front breakers where there is no electricity... are fine. Perfectly normal, except that they are "on" and the elctricity... not so much. We couldn't even figure out what might have thrown these not-thrown breakers because there wasn't much running on the front side of the house (my computer, my office light... and the refrigerator). Finally, out of desperation, my son goes to the back of the house and looks at the breakers there which are CLEARLY LABELED for the BACK OF THE HOUSE and finds that one which is MARKED FOR MY BEDROOM is off. And when he flips that back on, everything in the front of the house comes on. And the half of the entry left that I had saved? Not the brilliant half.
Clearly my house hates me and wants me to pay it attention instead of writing today. Which I may do because if it gets really serious and kills the freezer with the chocolate ice cream next? I may die.
