Pretty ordinary day around here…… until this afternoon! I got Katie up from her nap, situated for her snack time, folded some laundry, then the power flickered off??? I’m like HUH? It came back on…. so I turned back on my computer then went to reset the clock on the microwave AND the power went off again, but this time it didn’t come back on! I took my flashlight into Katie’s room and left another by her in the dining room while I put away clothes in her room. Brad called me at almost 6pm and said he was having trouble getting home because the usual street was blocked off and power was off everywhere!!!! I’m thinking what in the heck is going on?! My cousin came to knock on the door to check to see if our power was out too….. yup. Brad and I had planned on going to the store to pick up a few things after he got off work. Well, change of plans. Brad finally made it home and come to find out a car had overturned, went off the embankment, and hit a power pole plus I heard a transformer exploded or somethin…. crazy!

My cousin had said the power was supposed to come back on around 7:15-7:30 or so. Well, we all just hung out to see when the power was gonna come back on. I was getting hungry at 7pm so I ate some cold rice, lol and fed Katie lots of carrots plus some milk, since we didn’t have anything else besides things that needed to be heated. Finally, the lights came back on at 8pm! We had originally planned to let Katie go spend a little time with Mom while we went shopping, so we did that, just a lot later than planned. Katie’s hasn’t been to Mom’s in over a week, so I know they were happy to see each other. The area where the wreck happened was still blocked off, so we had to drive alllllll the way around another way to get to the road we needed to.

Went to Whole Foods to grab a few things, then got the rest from Wal-Mart….. picked Katie up, brought her home and straight to bed, since it was way past her bedtime. I put away groceries and now here I am! Wondering if I’m gonna be up late again, since I have been the last week or so, since I haven’t been as tired. I went to bed around midnight last night, I think? Slept pretty good. Wondering if I should take some more Nyquil tonight or not. I’m about to go use some homemade nasal solution to clean out my sinus cavity… that seems to help. Was hoping to watch the latest Dexter tonight, but guess it’ll have to wait till tomorrow!

I don’t want to jinx myself, but I’m starting to feel like the true ME again…. thanks to the thyroid meds plus the diet, green juice, and supplements! Come on energy and clarity! I’m stoked. Just wanna keep getting better and I will. Once I get over this sinus/cold junk, then I am getting back into an exercise routine =)

Hope everyone has a cozy night! Always keep positive…. it’s been hard for me, but I keep holding on and I want to encourage everyone to always have hope. Always know that you are worth it.
