Nothing like waking up thirty minutes before your alarm to a loud cracking noise, and seeing that the AC has gone off and all of the clocks in your bedroom are blank. However, that was the pleasant Monday surprise this morning. The thing that sucks the worse is that you’re immediately filled with anxiety that in this sleepy haze, you could fall back asleep and not have an alarm to wake you. Of course, I also learned that the battery in my clock not only maintains the time memory during blackouts but it keeps the alarm too, even though the display was out. A purchase I recommend finding if you’re a 9-to-5 drone.
Anyway, it made me glad that I don’t run my websites on a server in my house, which while it would be nice to save on all of the ridiculous fees I have to pay, I know I don’t have the luxury to stay home and see if everything reloads alright after the power is restored. Maybe if the day ever comes that I can be an artist or writer from home, I could… but I won’t hold my breath. There’s not a lot of oxygen in that smoke cloud. But so it goes. Keep at it.
