the lights went down in gainesville…

Our power went out last night early this morning around 2:00 ante meridiem. I heard a loud “pop” before everything that was running in the house powered down, including the HEPA filter in the room adjacent to our bedroom and T’s c-pap machine. It was SO quiet and REALLY dark. You don’t realize just how much light the power strips and alarm clock give off until they go out.
Worried that the new 9v battery backup I put in the alarm clock wouldn’t work and wake us up in time for work, I made Tim get up and stumble downstairs in the dark to get his cell phone so we could set its alarm as a backup.
I woke up again around 4:30 ante meridiem when the power returned. Kitten was so confused both times… “sweet! is it time to get up and play now? oh, no?? really?? you’re sure? well, okay… sigh”
