Off topic but… Ugh! what a morning! Woke up at seven when I realized my CPAP machine just shut itself off. Looked up to see the ceiling fan slowing down too, and no clock. The power had gone out!
Perfectly clear day, no storms that might have caused it (and yes, we did pay the electric bill!)
One whole section of our neighborhood was out. Centerpoint’s email said it was due to “equipment failure” and they were working on it.
Then the next thing we knew, our alarm system started going off, and because we had no power (and apparently no battery backup) it wouldn’t let us reset it. So we had to listen to it.
Thankfully the power came back within 20 minutes, and I managed to get hold of the alarm company and they are coming out tomorrow to replace the battery in our system which amazingly, after 18 years, is under warranty… (?)
So meditating to give thanks for that small mercy and getting ready to head to a dermatologist appointment.
Hope everyone is having a great day.
