so, saturday night i was cozy in bed, having a random dream, and in the dream i was working at wild oats. it was right before opening time & we were trying to get the store ready for open and all the sudden, someone turned off all the lights in the store and we were running around in the pitch black, freaking out trying to find the light switches...
i suddenly awaken from my dream and the house is pitch black. now, keep in mind that we keep a light on 24/7 so it usually shines in our room a bit from across the house, but it was pitch black. and silent. i think absolute silence - no energy, no fan blowing noise from baby's room - is so creepy! i looked at the clock and the power was gone. so we opened the window for noise and got my cell phone. it was 2:15...
i tossed and turned and fell asleep here and there but around 4:30 the power was still not on. so i called kcp&l to report the outage...i tossed and turned & tried to fall asleep but my back was killing me, so i went out the couch and lit some candles to read for a bit. 6:20 kcp&l finally shows up, i hear him hollar to my curious neighbor that a piece of the power pole broke and he's repairing it...
it was like camping in our house. it's wierd to think what would we do if we didn't have power & how did people used to get along without it 24/7? something like that kind of smacks a little reality of natural survival into you...
