And Then….*POOF*!

So, you notice I haven’t posted in awhile. I am leery to do so now. For some reason the power has been going off here about 15 times a DAY! With no warning, usually right when I am in the middle of a long email or something. That has to be good on the computer, right?

Why? Is the production of electricity that hard? The best part is, when the power goes out it throws the breaker switch, too. So, it’s 2 am, the power goes off. Who gets to go downstairs to flip the switch? Yea, me. Oh wait, it’s 2 am. How do we KNOW the power goes off? Well, because it makes the house alarm go off. The house alarm that doesn’t need power for some reason. (Yes, even if the alarm is OFF, it still goes off when the power goes out.)

It’s like my friend 250 was saying on Sunday. Living here is like death by 10,000 paper cuts. It just never ends. At least in Turkey you knew the power was going to go off at 1 pm, and be off for an hour.

Just counting the days til July, adding to my shopping list everyday! (Oh, and if you read this post, it means I snuck it in between power outages.)
