well that was weird

Power went mostly out last night at 9:30. I say "mostly" because I still had:

• The two overhead light fixtures, though at about half strength
  
• The clock on the stove, though NOT the clock on the microwave
  
• The light for the smoke alarm, which is wired into the electric, fading in and out
  
• The 'standby' light for my CPAP, though that faded out after awhile
  
• The lights on the other side of the building hallway, though not on my side

Wifi was obviously down but the cell towers stayed up. Eventually the strata sent out an email saying in part "Branch Broke, shorted power wire. Knocked out transformers. Building @ 1/3 power. DO NOT USE ELEVATOR!"

In the event it did come back on at around seven this morning. So I am not terribly rested but at least I don't have to worry about the food in the freezer thawing out and going bad.

Off to the north for a week. Ex-roomie Mya is coming by daily to check on Mr Tuppert and spend some time hanging out with him, which I greatly appreciate. One hopes he will forgive me sooner than later for abandoning him.
