ELECTRICITY I LUV U

[rose_of_pain]

So for those who didn't get my frantic texts and calls...

Our power went out at about 3:30pm on Sunday.

And just finally went back on a few hours ago.

Normally this wouldn't be that big of an issue. But being as Otakon is THIS THURSDAY and I still have A LOT to do for it...you can imagine how much panicking went on in this house.

And let me tell you. It's pretty godawful sitting in a dark house with absolutely nothing you can do when you have so much you need to work on. T_T Ended up going to my brother's last night so we could at least use the power tools and the oven for Chopin's new backpiece. Then today I went to my friend Carrie's house and her mother was nice enough to invite Mom and I to the luncheon they were having so yay food! I think my Mom really needed that too as she was going a bit bonkers from the whole ordeal. But yeah I was sewing over there when the power went back on at home.

So...yeah...that was a really bad setback. So don't expect to hear/see me much now until the con as I gotta rush to make this all happen now. T_T; Sucks too as I would have probably gotten everything done before Thursday with time to relax if this hadn't happened. Curse you weather!

Oh and all that it took to knock the power out was one crazy intense storm. Didn't last long but damn! I'm not surprised so many people were without power as a result of it. We had tornado and flash flood warnings and my neighbor's weathervane got knocked right off their roof. Lots of trees down and 2 people died as a result of being crushed by a tree/pole. :/ So yeah. Weather. Not cool. First with the earthquake and now with this. >>;

Yeah...especially right before a big con it seems. >_<;

It happened to me once the day before a deadline. I hearly had a heartattack. Luckily for me, it didn't last long. I used to enjoy blackouts when I was a kid because it meant I got to light candles, but nowadays is just a big source of stress.
