i'm alive and i'm pissed off
our power's back. we were almost blown up in the process, but our power is back, thank god. i hate sleeping without air conditioning. when they tried turning the power on for the first time this morning, they missed some branches that were sitting on the line. so naturally, there was a giant explosion. how giant? it reached all the way from e.e. williamson to right outside my bathroom window. they turned the line off. then they decided to try it again. it was like a fireworks display in my own backyard. so a truck pulls up, some guys in hard hats start sawing off limbs and the power's on 30 minutes later. without the fireworks display. i love being hooked up to an elementary school and a streetlight.
and then - ivan! ivan might pay us a visit too, in less than a week.
oh and guess who has to go into work today despite tornado warnings, flood warnings, curfews and the fact that we don't have power in my store to run the registers? i have to go into work today. fantastic.
no but really, i'm happy the power came on. kevin and i are planning to move into the apartment on thursday. hopefully, that'll work.
