Yesterday afternoon there was a notice on the wall of our building that the power was going to be out from 8-3 today. The electric company was going to "improve" their system and wiring. This wasn't a big deal. I figured I could work early in the morning and then again at 3:00. It helps that Utah is 2 hours behind us so it would only be 1:00 there when I could work again. That didn't happen at all. The power finally came on again at 6:00 tonight. Oops, guess they didn't figure in some extra hours for mistakes.
It wasn't a terrible day though. I just broke out our lantern and was able to relax. I got halfway through my book and took an afternoon nap. It is nice when I don't have to work all day. When I knew the power wasn't coming on again at 3, I was responsible and went to the library where I was able to log onto my work computer and get some work done. I would much rather have power off then water off for the day. That happened once and I went crazy.

no water is the worst!!! that happened to us in our old apartment. we didn't have water for a whole night and i was pregnant. let's just say that was not a fun night and the following morning i was not pretty for work :)
Way to hang in there Ginger. Just keep the big picture in mind. It's going to make your apartment nicer and everything more efficient right? Then you'll move. That's how it works!
Wow you roughed it for a whole day without power! That is a good idea to go to the library and get in a fix of electricity. I don't know what I'd do without power for a whole day, especially when it's cold outside.
