Everything is jibberish!

Sorry for the delay in blogging.  Everytime I log into blogger, everything is jibberish and there is nothing I can read.  As soon as I figure out how to change it to English or Spanish I'll post a great informative blog!

Electricity, how wonderful!

Amber and I had a surprise this morning when we woke up to no electricity.  At first, I thought maybe it was just my apartment, but that wasn't the case.  Evidently we lost power about 1:00am.  The electric company called our office to let us know we were the only house in the neighborhood without power.  What in the world?  We did pay our last bill a little late, but it was paid over a week ago.

The electrician came (even on time!), and tinkered around for a long time, yet still now power.  Eventually he came to tell me and Amber that the main breaker box had shorted out and needed to be replaced.  So, off he went to Ace Hardware (and a "short lunch") to pick up the needed parts.  Three and a half hours later he returned and went back to working.  Low and behold he was able to fix the problem and diagnose some other things that we "need" him to fix for us.  It felt a little more like he was looking for more work. =)

At the end of the day, electricity has been restored and I have been reminded of how dependent I am upon it.  Hopefully it will still be working in the morning!
