Well, it's the end of the Memorial Day weekend. First, Thank you to all the Service Men and Women around the world and throughout history that have given the ultimate gift to allow me to sit in my appartment and type this.
Next, lets move on to why my weekend was both long and no-sew. My husband was home all weekend and he just doesn't understand the need to sew. Not even a little bit. For him the apartment is a place to store your stuff, not a place to hang out in, so we were gone most of the time. We played golf (very badly) all 3 days, went shopping, had lunch, went to dinner, everything but stay at home. Now adding to the reason's for not staying at home was a major power outage. Around 12:40 on Saturday (according to my email) the power went out due to a subterrainian fire that caused a widespread outage. The widespread was quickly corrected BUT not in our apartment building. Apparently, when the power went out - or tried to come back on? - the generator failed to shut off and it burned up something, so the power couldn't come back on. It's the holiday weekend, remember?, so the manager must have gone to the beach without her cell phone. After 24 hours the generator runs dry and NOW we have no fire alarms, springlers, no stairwell lighting (DARK!) and no security systems. A little scary to say the least. Someone must have called the fire marshall, as they (FM) came around about 10 last night to check on each tenent. By then they'd gotten their Sh*t together and refilled the generator. And all the power was back on this morning. Our unit only lost power for the initial widespread period of about 15 minutes or so - units are metered separately. No cable, no internet sucked.
I know, short boring post after a long weekend. Maybe I'll be more witty tomorrow.
