Bad Luck and Good Luck

[collwen]

So I'm trying to get back to sleep and having a hard time. So I've grabbed a book, and the light I have on and my radio go out. At the same time. None of the lights in the apartment work. I hear people outside the school across the street and learn that they're without power too.

After confirming that the power company knows that the power seems to be out for my block, I grab my keys and head to a local plaza to get something to eat- and keep warm considering that I have no idea how long the power will be out and no power = no heater.

I almost get to the plaza, and realize that I've forgotten my purse, and therefore my wallet. I had just grabbed my keys and my cell phone.

I turn around, go back home, and the power is still out. So I grab my purse and get back into the car. Then on my way back to the plaza I hear my radio station start to play the announcement to call in for a free pair of tickets to the Taste of Chaos 2006 concert that will be at the Civic Center blocks from my house a week from tomorrow.

I have my cell phone with me, and the radio station is on my speed dial.

I end up being caller #10, which is the magic # for winning the tickets.

I then go and get indian buffet at a restruant in the plaza, followedx by getting a replacement set of Brittany #8 knitting needles to replace the one O broke at Philcon.

I get home, and the lights are back on.... and I still feel exhausted, but can't get back to sleep.
