Brownout!

The power went off last night. Fortunately, hubby and I have already had dinner, so we were just fidgeting with our electronic toys and watching TV when darkness enveloped our neighborhood. It didn’t take long until we got bored and decided to drive somewhere with better (or at least some) lighting. LOL!

Outside, the moon was shining brightly and the apartment complex was very quiet. We were surprised to see that the power outage only covered a small area. And unfortunately, we were in that area. We shrugged it off and went to WalMart – the one that’s open 24/7 like a Seven Eleven.

There was still no power when we came back. I was afraid the food in the fridge would all spoil and I won’t have the power to save them by cooking (like my mother does) because we have electric stoves. Power went back on at around 9 in the morning and I was able to get a few more hours of sleep, this time with peace of mind.

As I write this, we still have no idea why they turned it off, so don’t ask. ;p
