Last night I was on the phone with Donna and the lights started to flicker. Then they went out. This was around 8:30. The lights didn’t come back on until 1:30 in the morning! We had quite a series of thunderstorms last night. I managed to get to sleep, but twice they woke me back up! So this morning I looked at the on-line newspaper and it said that 14 power poles were knocked down in the storm! But I learned how to set the alarm on my cell phone and I found a battery-powered travel alarm clock so that I’d be able to get up this morning. I personally don’t think the weather should be exciting!
I did learn something from the infamous Labor Day Storm in Syracuse, though! I have a water jug turned to ice that I keep in the freezer and one in the fridge as well, so I didn’t have to worry about how long the power would be out.
In my on-line class, you have to post the answer to the questions on Wednesday and Friday, as well as two substantial posts a day for four days. I’m going to have to start doing them earlier! If I had waited, I wouldn’t have been able to do them yesterday! Luckily I did get them done and in fact had just finished when I called Donna.
Well, I’d better go do my lesson plans. I didn’t get them done last night because I didn’t have enough light to read my notes by and I didn’t really want to suck down my computer’s battery for lesson plans!
