Its amazing how life comes to a stand still in the US with a power outage. This morning, with no warnings there was a power outage in our area. A very rare occurrence for sure. We were already tossing in the bed around 5:30am because of the humidity when the power went out. That woke me up instantly.
I am known in the family for waking up from my deepest sleep within a second the fan in the room is turned off. It was already dawn .. but I didn't know what I could do being awake. So I lay on my bed. The things we missed:
* A fan to keep the room
* Stove to make fresh tea
* Stove to prepare breakfast / pack lunch
* Lights in the hallway / bathroom
* Garage key since the opener wouldn't function
* My cordless phone
* Internet connection
It was almost our entire morning had come to a halt. Thankfully the power resumed around 7:40 am and we were back to our normal morning routine.
