Lost power in the night

I wasn't sleeping particularly well anyway, but at 3:30 I was awakened.  I'm not sure if it was a crashing noise from outside because of the wind (very possible) or the if it was the lack of noise coming from my fan.  Regardless, the power had gone out.  It was no surprise given the wind noises outside.  Andrew got up to get his cell phone and set an alarm (the kids have swim practice this morning), and he also called the power company to make sure they knew about the outage.  I couldn't go back to sleep, and when I checked it was 5:15.  I still had over 90 minutes until I had to get up, but I was still awake at that point.  I did finally fall back to sleep, and of course now I feel a little crappy from the lack of sleep.

I am very grateful for the temps yesterday though.  The house was still plenty warm, and overall the power was only out for about three hours.  No damage done really...other than to body clock!  Thank goodness there is no school and work today!
