Power Outage

I awoke to the alarm clock at 6:15 this morning, shut it off, with the intent to sleep in, at least until about 7:30, but was not concerned if I slept in later.  Well, I did.  I slept in until after 9 AM and woke to a power outage.  Fortunately, my smartphone was charged, and I could check the Lubbock Power and Light website. I was in an area of a power outage.  Evidently, last night due to the high winds, there were multiple power outages, mostly due to down trees, but also other reasons.  I was not affected then, in fact I watched TV until after 11:30, then read for a few minutes before I went to bed.

Then, this morning, there were another series of power outages, between 8 and 9 AM, and my area of town was affected.  I am not sure when the outage occurred, but  power was not restored until about 2 hours after I woke.  

I was not too concerned. I raised the blinds in the living room, which gave me adequate light, and I started my day reading, instead of getting ready to meet the world and going out to run errands.  I did that, but much later in the day .
