Got home at 4:30-ish to no power. It was extra fun, because we were supposed to have people over for dinner. Not gonna happen. Called NB Power, they said they hadn't heard, but they'd send somebody out. They arrived around 7-7:30, and worked for at least 4 hours. I'm not sure if you've really thought about it before, but there's very little you can prepare for supper for yourself or your child that requires no power. Like, cereal, and peanut butter sandwiches. Mmm! So he had that. The man and I were waiting because they said the power would be back on at 7:30, but come 8:30 we were understandably starved and opted for pizza. It was delish. Maybe because we were so hungry. Anyway. I fell asleep, as is bound to happen in a quiet dark house, but we had candles (in jars, but still) burning so the man couldn't fall asleep. We tried not having candles, but when the boy woke up to total darkness, he was unimpressed. So he had a lovely lemon-scented candle in his room, and slept well. We flipped the breaker once we noticed that the work crews had left, but it did nothing. Tried several times. Nothing. Around 4am, tried again, power came on. Lovely. So, we're all a bit tired today. The man had the least sleep, so he's still in bed. The boy had the most, so he was up at 8, which is not bad, really. I had mediocre...I was marginally worried about the candles, but it was Friday, and what with the baby-growing, I'm tired always, so I did get a bit of rest before the power started working again.
That was my adventure last night. We rescheduled our dinner date for Sunday night. The boy and I are going to run some errands this afternoon, and beyond that, my weekend is for doing eff all. I'd like to get some nice fall pics of the boy, but the weather is not cooperating this weekend.
