Woke up to no power. Tablet said 7:05. Great. Laid in snuggly warm bed for another hour. Still no power. Cat was not happy, kept coming in and getting up on the bed going “get up and make the heat come on!”

Finally got up. No Coffee! Bundled up, sat on couch and read. Around 8:30 ish power came back on. Didn’t jump for joy yet, 5 min later it went back out. Read and waited. Hour later it came back on and stayed on. Figured we were safe. Made a pot of coffee, just started perking, power went out. Grrr.

Time to go out and clean the yard out. At least the exercise will keep me warm. Love shoveling slush. G was why do we have a snow blower; you never use it. Well with no power I couldn’t start it. I’ve tried using the pull cord when it’s cold and hasn’t been running and I can’t get it to start that way. Besides it was only about an inch and we both need the exercise. W drove by, he usually stops on his way back to the river said he would try to start it for me, but we were half done so I said “Nah”.

Went to get something to break up the packed down at the bottom of the drive where the town plow build up was. Went into the garage and the light was on. Power was back on. We finished the drive. I started the coffee. G got her shower in. I got my shower in. Sheets needed washing. They were in the rinse cycle, almost done, yup power went out again. That was about 1:30. Grr….race was on at 3:00.

2:54 beep, beep, beep. Everything comes back on. Power is back! Yeah, just in time for the race. Stayed on!

Whoot, Whoot my guy won! Bell gets me in the playoffs and the liquor pool.

Book and Bed. Work tomorrow….sigh. Can I retire yet.
