I'm Back (Again)!
4 years ago
Hey all! Sorry for my absence the past couple days. Tuesday night, some more storms moved through my area and knocked out the power AGAIN! Around 8 on Tuesday, I lost power and it wasn't restored until around 3 this morning. Plus it was around 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) all day yesterday, and I had no electricity all day! The fun never ends! I spent last night and Tuesday night sitting in lantern light, listening to a battery powered radio, and reading by flashlight. Which actually wasn't that bad if it hadn't been for the heat! I normally sleep with a fan on, both for the noise and the cool air on my face feels good, so my sleep cycle has been terrible! I hardly slept at all on Tuesday and finally fell asleep around 1 this morning lying on my living room floor in my underwear cause it was too hot in my bedroom! When the power came back on at 3 I woke up just long enough to turn my fan on high and crawl into bed to get a few more hours of sleep (I get up at 530 every morning). So this moose is a little sleepy today! But I'm doing good nonetheless! The weather has cooled a little this morning and I will go shopping later to replace all the food I had to throw away! It should be a good day!
Hopefully this journal wasn't too much of a bummer. Just wanted to explain where I've been the past few days and share a little of my life with you all! I should be back to my normal posting schedule soon! Thanks everyone for understanding! And thank you all for all your love and support! Hope everyone is having a fantastic day!

Oh, my poor cervine friend! 😫 I feel your pain! Few things are as miserable as trying to sleep in suffocating heat! (The crappy AC in my first apartment taught me this all too well!) Still, I couldn't be happier you and Rocky are finally able to be comfortable again! Have wonderful day and an awesome weekend! 😁💙

Thank you so much! I'm already a hot sleeper who tends to kick off the blankets in the night, so with no fan or AC it was rough! But Rocky and I both made it through! In fact, I gave Rocky a cool bath in the afternoon and spend the evening fanning him with a notebook like the prince he is! And Rocky is so very happy to have AC back! Hopefully your current apartment has better climate control! You have a wonderful day as well and a fantastic weekend!

Power outages in the middle of summer are hell.

Agreed! If that never happens again, I'd be okay with that!
