Morning

So I wake up this morning at my now normal 4am. This is bad because it means that I am toast by 4pm, but that's a different story.

It was like a novel. I stuck my nose out from under the pillow... cold. Too cold. Too cold by half for normal. I listened intently. No TV. But she can't fall asleep without the TV. There is no TV. Where is the TV? Did she turn it off? Why did she turn it off? I peer out in my contactless state. There should be big red numbers on the clock radio on my night stand. There are no numbers taunting me. Bad. Very Bad. Bad in unbelievably bad ways. Ooog.

Long story short, I guess Aquila was doing some work to repair the power after the ice storm and took us out for 2hrs. The UPS did its thing until the battery died, though I need to look more closely at it because I don't think the battery is still good :-/ Everything recovered though, including the firewall and cable modem, which is all goodness.

The drive in was pretty good. There appeared to be some sanity coming back into my road co-habitants, as there were no big wrecks or insane driving randomness. I need to pick up wiper fluid!
