Oct. 25th, 2005 08:57 amWell, all things did not go according to plan yesterday. Our house guests left, in the rain, at about 11AM. After which Matt and I conked out in my room. But lo, at about 12:15 our power went out. No rain...some wind...but the power was gone. And so, we got our jeans and sneakers on and removed the plywood from the windows. We got a wee bit wet, but nothing major. It took us about 30 minutes, and when I started to clean out my truck (OMG YAY! I'm having my windshield replaced today), I heard the fridge in the garage kick on. An hour without power on a cool day is something I can totally live with.
Since it was a gorgeous day (you know, AFTER the HURRICANE), we decided to go goof off. I was still worried about my work shift, only to find out later that the call at 11PM the night before was for me, telling me my shift was canceled, but Matt didn't quite relay that in a Kelly-friendly format. Oh well. Went to Michael's to go see Lisa who works in the frame department. Walked around the new (and still unfinished) LOOP to see what we could buy (turns out, nothing). I was a little concerned about going to Wal-Mart, especially after a weather event, but it wasn't as crazy as I thought.
We were about to go home, thus making us the two lamest people in all of Lameonia, but then inspiration hit and Matt decided we couldn't waste the beautiful weather, so we went to Epcot and roamed around for a few hours. It was great...not crowded...no Food & Wine Fest (Wah! but understandable)...just a nice little walk around the park. We came home to watch Big Fish, but I could not keep the eyes open and went to bed before 10 PM. If you ever have to sit through a hurricane, I definitely recommend one like Wilma.
Bring on the cold weather!
