power outage
As I was leaving the cancer center today, I pushed the elevator call button -- and lights for the whole floor went out. Yikes!
I repressed the urge to shout, "I didn't do it!"
There was a loooooong ten second pause, and then power came back -- for three seconds.
Another long pause. Power flickered.
I decided that even if power came back on and seemed to stay on, I wasn't going to risk the elevator.
Fortunately I only had to climb five flights of stairs to get to the level where my car was parked, and I can still manage that.
Yikes! That seems like a bad place for the power to go wonky!
Happy Monday Tuesday.
I’m starting to loath coming to work and that’s no good. I need an attitude adjustment.
I managed to get the cats out of the crawlspace under my house and seal the entrance behind them yesterday, so hopefully that's an end to the neighborhood toms circling my house and serenading all through the day and night.
I also took Mom out to a mystery movie that turned out to be an advance screening of
How to Make a Killing
last night. It's apparently a remake of
Kind Hearts and Coronets.
It's enjoyable for much of the run time, but really fails to stick the landing.
Happy Fat Tuesday Paczki Year of the Horse!
I found a king cake at Wegmann's from an actual Louisiana bakery. It's stuffed with cream cheese, but that's better than some kind of fruit stuffing. (Stuffed king cakes are incorrect.)
The congruence of holidays this year is wild!
Man, I forgot it was Paczki Day. I have what I'm pretty sure is norovirus -- the symptoms are dead on, and it's going around Cincinnati. So I'm a little distracted by the Ick, and I will definitely not be eating any paczki today! Zofran and gatorade for me!
Co-worker gave me some Neuro caffeinated gum to try. Tastes like going to the dentist? But not, like, bad. IDK. I got hot chocolate instead of coffee on the way in this morning (very bad driving weather, most of the office is WFH) so I think I will be okay to have a regular cup of coffee in a little while
Aw, ill-timed ick! I got food poisoning for Mardi Gras one year, even less fun than at other times IMO
