Well, our power is back. But not well. We're having major power surges that we think may have zapped our deep freeze and possibly our washing machine. The lights will go all bright and then very very dim, and then very bright and so on and so forth. Supposedly we're on the Ameren "priority" list but I'm not holding my breath that it'll be back to normal soon. Hopefully I'm wrong. Alas, I cannot get on the computer from home until that is sorted out cause I can't afford a new one if it would zap it. And I would be a very sad Angie.
So in the past week I've done a LOT of painting and listening to music and listening to my inner voice. I feel somewhat calmer than I did in recent past. I guess in a way getting away from all the modern technology was healthy for me. I also picked up the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron once more. I forgot how amazing and eye opening that book was. I think I'm going to start re-working through it.
Supposedly the winners of the local writing contest I entered a few months ago were announced yesterday. I wasn't there, but no one called me or anything so I'm assuming I didn't win anything. Not that I'm suprised, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed. Oh well. There's always next year, right?
Last night I dreamt about my friend Sarah...I dreamt she was visiting and when I woke up I missed her SO much. *sighs* Just one of those things I guess.

*headdesk*
Our power had to be shut off because we almost had a house fire this morning. So now we're waiting on an electrician AND the power company to fix all these problems AND my mom refuses to turn on the heat at all because she doesn't want the house to burn down. I may be going somewhere else tonight to stay, I don't know. I'll keep you guys updated.
