The worst things come to mind!

Texas is going off its rocker! We are having the weirdest weather here. Its freezing cold and raining ice. Of course its only natural for the power to go out.

So when the power does go out why does my mind automatically jump to the thought that the power has been cut by an ax murderer and he is coming to kill me? Last night Dan was at a meeting, so I was home by myself, cell phone in the car and my laptop had 10 minutes left of battery power. I was putting towels in the bathroom when DARKNESS STRIKES! I just stood there dead silent, then about 3 minutes later, I start yelling "Please don't murder me, please don't murder me" as I run around my apartment trying to light the candles and find all the flashlights. Ranger is barking which doesn't help the situation any, once I got everything together I just sat in the corner so my back wasn't to any open hallways. I didn't want to be snuck up on.


The power went out about 7:30 and Dan didn't get home until 9:30ish. It was a long two hours!
Once he got home i felt a lot better. The power continues to be off as we eat cold things and try to drink all juices and milk in the fridge before they go bad.

I am just wondering what one might do in these types of situations. How do you occupy your mind so that you aren't constantly thinking about being murdered and how you wish you had eaten that last good meal before you die!

Les! It is seems like forever since I have see you.I was reading your Christmas post, and reminiscing about the family get togethers. Always a fun time. Sounds like life is good for you and Dan in Texas. Hope our families can get together soon.
