Power was only off for about 10 minutes here at work yesterday but the noticeable absence of shyzer from MSN alerted me to the fact that things might not be the same back at the shack. And it was true as I soon found out.
SO!
Instead of going home to an evening of transcribbin' I went back to a stuffy, fanless, quiet and increasingly dark home. To capitalize on the situation I thought it would be a perfect time to go do some chores so I packed up all the beer bottles that had been stagnating about and stuffed them in the cart for a jaunt to the beer store.
4 separate people, all shady Sherbourne housing co-op folk informed me that the beer store on Gerrard was closed. It was very nice of them and I really appreciated it, until of course the one creepy dude who leered down on me offered to keep me company on my walk to the farther beer store on Parliment.
Ha! Ha ha! No thanks! I'm going to the pet store anyway! I smiled!
Oh he really wasn't that creepy. But it was kind of nice to get past the Gerrard area so people were no longer shouting at me from porches.
So... Beer Store! Pet Store! And then down to the pet value for some cheap litter and... closed due to power outage. Bah. In my frustration I instead purchased some Maxx Scoop. They can use that for a day.
So I went home... started to scribe and the power went off. So I sat around, went to Oakham for some combo of the above and the power came back on! So we went home and played Bard's Tale and the power went off. Then it was bedtime and I fell asleep and the power came back on! And then Tristan turned the lights off and set the alarm, and the power went out! Ha! This can go on forever!
So it was basically JUST like the Blackout! Except the blackout for me was my fan not even coming to a stop and then starting again cause Port Colborne is the shit yo!
Speaking of Port Colborne... seems like NOW IS THE BEST TIME. Whoever came up with that slogan is a certifiable genius.
p.s.
Thanks to Danny for calling to wake me up when I was sans alarm... he's the best boss a gal could ever have.
