Lights Out

Approximately 30 minutes of storm on Friday has created a power outtage cluster-fuck in my area. The last time we lost power at our apartment (due to a winter storm), it was out for 3 days. We're camped out at my sister's house and are slowly bringing more and more things from home. First it was stuff from the fridge we didn't want to spoil. Then it was our cat and his supplies (its just too hot and humid to leave him in the apartment). Then we decided we couldn't sleep at home because it wouldn't get cool enough at night to be comfortable, so we grabbed shower supplies, a change of clothes, and pillows. We've already checked for electric this morning (none, of course) and when we go back to check this afternoon, we'll have to bring our laundry hamper back to my sister's so we can wash clothes for the coming week. This is seriously NOT fun, but thank God we had somewhere to go. Yesterday was one of those days where "low carb" went right out the window. I'm doing much better today.

I'm a little frustrated because I had sexy-time plans for Saturday morning and that totally did not happen. I'm not letting it destroy my mood though. What will be, will be, and no one can claim I have any control over the weather. I am CD13, I've had EWCM for 6 days now and I still can't decide if that's a good thing or not. At least I've managed to temp every morning. I'll just keep on that and wait to see if there's a thermal shift sometime soon.... I have had other symptoms: pain in my ovaries and some nipple tenderness, but I'm trying to ignore all that and just go with the basics, CM and BBT.

For some entertainment today we're going to a few open houses - sure hope they all have power!

  1. I think those are great signs! I get nipple tenderness around the day I ovulate! Time to get busy!

    1. Unfortunately, we have been camped out on my sister's living room since Saturday. So we only managed to get coverage on Thursday last week. Oh well, nothing I could do about that.

  2. We had the same issue - it was about 10:15 and I was waiting for my husband to finish watching a show online and suddenly the light flickered. He assumed the light bulb was dying...oh no, instead we lost power for 20 hours. :( Hope your power has already been restored or comes back on soon!

  3. Ugh. I feel for your situation. We lost power for five days in January (in the dead of winter, instead of the heat of summer)and it was awful. Hoping power is restored soon (or already) and you see that thermal shift you're watching for!

    1. We seem to live in a very unlucky area. When our power goes out, its usually out for *days*. Still no power as of 3:00 this afternoon...
