those big girl pants are fitting more comfortably all the time…

yesterday, in the early evening, the power went out… it was still light so I sat in the quiet and finished a book… then I went in search of flashlights and candles in case I needed them… found both and had them set out in each room so I would be ready when it got dark…

after about forty-five minutes the power came back on… Google turned all the lights on and the fish tank pump started burbling…

I turned on the tv which came on and after a few seconds would say the connection was lost… same thing for the one upstairs…

I decided to go to bed and see if it was more cooperative in the morning… unfortunately it wasn’t…

so instead of freaking out and calling my son-in-law, I went down to the router, turned it off, once I figured out which plug to use, and waited… plugged it back in, and waited…

and then turned on the tv which was now perfectly happy…

I also put a label on the plug for the next time this happens…

way to go me;-)…
