rough night

ok, so....the storms that passed through swept away all hopes of a good night's sleep.....hopes that were only a bit dashed by printer failure just before bedtime....we had booked my spouse's marathon registration and plane flight, and i resorted to saving both receipts as word files and emailing them to the bike shop, as the verbally-gifted printer repeatedly announced printer failure. I cannot deal with these malfunctions when i am tired. We did unplug the computer just in case the storms were severe and electrically-charged. I did the same at work, just in case. The last storm actually took out part of our electrical system for a short time. The line that runs down the outside wall was shorted out, and several of my work-mate's computers were thought dead until they were plugged in elsewhere. these issues were all on my mind as the storm raged sometime after midnight- i tried not to open my eyes or look at the clock...but going back to sleep when one is thinking that one should go the basement is problematic.....and so this morning i feel less-than-refreshed and wish i could climb back in bed
