No power?!?!?!

We had a nasty storm roll through yesterday, knocking down one of our neighbor's trees - which, of course, took all the power lines with it. We were without power for a good 13 hours, I think. (We lost power around 4ish, and it all came back on at about 5:00 this morning.)

So just to add to the fun, I decided to upload a photo of what my room looked like before I went to bed last night. Remember, I live in the basement...


Just look at that detail! HAHA! Yeah, you're thinking to yourself, "But I can't see anything!!!" Well, neither could I!

It was literally that dark -- "I can't see my hand in front of my face" kind of dark...

I still find it amusing that I would actually open my eyes while trying to feel my way around my nightstand with the hope of finding my cell phone (wanting to know what time it was upon waking up in the middle of the night...)

This also meant no workout last night, because: NO POWER = NO SHOWER. I really didn't want to try to figure out where the shampoo was in my pitch black basement bathroom.

So that was my excitement for the night...or lack thereof...
