logans_girl2001I played on my phone until it was almost dead last night and since it was around 9pm when I decided to start charging it, I chose to sleep on the couch.
I fell asleep watching Police 24/7 on The CW and woke up to a text alert on my phone. The text was from my electric company telling me there was an outage in my area. My sleep addled brain did not register the fact that it was darker than usual in my apartment (despite the package on my curtains saying they are 100% blackout, I still get some light from the safety lights plus I don't have curtains on the patio door (awkward size and placement) and I have night lights to keep my apartment from being too dark), just that the TV was off. I tried to turn it back on to go back to sleep (I need some kind of background noise (not a white noise machine, though)) and discovered it wouldn't turn on. That's when my brain went, 'duh, the power's off'.
And of course that's when my bladder went, 'since we're awake...'. Only problem was that I had my feet up and the recline function on my couch is electric. *wince*
I managed to wiggle off the couch, turned on the flashlight on my phone and used the bathroom. And that's when it started to feel warm in my apartment (not sure if it actually was, just that it was starting to feel that way). So I opened the patio door. I even stood on the patio for a few minutes. If I had patio furniture, I probably would have sat out there until the power came back on because there was some light where there was no light inside my apartment.
I started planning on telling my boss that I was going to have to take the day (luckily I was able to key all my sites yesterday) and asking to go to my parents because I was NOT going to sit all day in my apartment with no power. But the power came back on. It was only off for about forty-five minutes.
