For the love of the Gods why can't I sleep? It is almost 4 in the morning and I can not seem to fall asleep. I am tired but when I lie down my mind won't shut down, it keeps whirling and twirling around with thoughts that are too fleeting to even grasp. Part of me is not wanting to sleep I think due to the power outages we have had today. My husband was late for work because the power went out sometime during the night, luckily he ended up only being fifteen minutes late. So as a result I am staying awake in part to make sure the alarm goes off or at least I am there to wake him up should he need it.
The power was out for six hours today and let me tell you I got quite chilly in the house. No power equals no heat which makes a popsicle out of me. I actually had to put on socks *pout* I don't like to wear socks, I prefer to be barefoot. However I will be calling the electrical company tomorrow because these power outages are becoming annoying. In the last month the power has gone out about five times. I have dealt with more blackouts in the last month than I had in my entire life up to this point. Today alone we have had three separate blackouts, the first one I don't know how long it lasted because it happened when we were asleep, the second was six hours longs and the third was about 30 minutes.
Other than being left in the dark, I have taken a huge interest in scrapbooking but it is an expensive hobby. I will be starting up gradually due to the investment but I really do enjoy it and I like the creative nature of it.
I am going to try to sleep now.
