Finally out of the dark

This has been such a long and busy week, I'm glad it's come to an end. I've had better weeks, though. I was still tired when I got up this morning, not something you want to be feeling when you have a long day ahead of you. The only thing that did work in my favor was my lady was so exhausted from not sleeping for the past 2 days, all she did was sleep while I was there. Those are my kind of Fridays, lol. Left early to do do my thing at the office, still tired and so not wanting to be there. Glad it was only 2 hours instead of 3 and it did go rather fast. The only problem was my stomach was bothering me when I got there and the first thing we did was watch a movie about infection control. Well, it was rather detailed and it did nothing for my already upset stomach. I found myself looking at the floor and taking deep breaths, a lot. Normally, this isn't a problem, but it was with an upset stomach. Felt much better after it was over and we all got to demonstrate universal precautions. By the time I got back to my seat I was feeling so much better that the rest of the time seemed to just fly by, that and the fact that she skipped a lot because it was a Friday afternoon and she wanted to go home to, lol. We have to do this every year, so it's not like we're missing something.

Since I was in town I decided to check and see if I could find ink for my printer and low and behold, the slot was stocked! My, my. So I grabbed one and was on my way. The day before valentines I guess isn't the day to go shopping, the place was packed. I had turned off my phone before I went to the office. Hubby called me a few times and since he's been a bad husband and I'm not talking to him, I decided to shut if off and keep it off. Left the boys a note and knew they would be calling me. When I finally turned it back on, there were a few messages from hubby, but none from the boys. So I called the boys and made sure they had everything done because they had to go to youth group tonight. I would be home late and they had to have had dinner before we left. They said they did everything. To bad if they didn't. Just as I walked in the door hubby called to see if I was home. Didn't want to talk to me, just checking to make sure I'm there. Yeah, he was getting worried, lol. Drop the boys to youth group and I notice on the way home, it's really dark outside. Like darker than normal. Then I go by a gas station and realize it's closed. Then I realize the power is out, that's why it's darker than normal. Now in my house, there are never any flashlights or if there is, they don't have any batteries in them. Or the batteries are dead. So, I had to feel my way around the house looking for a lighter. So glad that was where it was supposed to be. Took that and went around lighting all the candles I could find. So, the cat decided that she is going to chase the shadows from the flickering candles. Well, at least I had entertainment, lol. Hubby calls, I answered the phone because I couldn't see the caller id, lol. He wanted to know if I had power. Um, no, obviously you don't either. He asked me why the power was out. Like I would know. I just walked into a dark house. He told me to call the power company and see what happened and when it would be back on again. Yeah, right. He must have called about 5 times. Every time I would start to get warm he would call. Finally, he called to tell me he was going to try to get a nap and that he was upstairs in the apt and wanted me to call him when the power went back on. Two and a half hours later the power finally comes back on. I call him upstairs and no answer. I call the station and he's like so you're awake. I never went to sleep, to many candles burning and a cat acting like a fool. Never know when she's going to run smack into a table with a candle on it. Then he tells me the power has been on for the past 30 minutes, why didn't I call. Maybe because my power just came on. I asked him why he didn't call me. He said he did. Told him my phone never rang and he must be dialing the wrong number. Again. Then he says the power has only been on for about 20 minutes, which means it came back on around 9:00, not 8:30. Caught again. He knows I'm not happy with him, why make matters worse??

So the plans for the weekend are to work on my class, now that I have ink. I have 2 cartridges. The one I ordered online came today to. Play catch up with the class and the laundry. I haven't been here long enough at night to do more than one load, and that stays in the dryer until I wash another, lol.

Since we had one day where the temps got close to 50 all the snow and ice started to melt. We went to bible study on Wednesday and getting up the driveway was a real chore. The mud was just making the tires spin as you went up. So, since I'm notorious for getting cars stuck, I parked in the closest spot I possibly could. Everyone who came in commented on the think mud. The last people to come in, the wife says she needs all the young males to help her husband push the car out. He's stuck in a snow bank. It took me a minute to realize what she said. I was just automatically thinking, mud. But no, she said snow. Apparently he slipped on the mud and slid into the piles of snow that are at the sides on the driveway still. Plowed right in, nose first, lol. At least I'm not the only one, lol.
