First reaction, what the hell did I do?

Second reaction, find the flash light. Got it.

Third reaction, check the circuit breaker.  All fine.

Emergency reaction:

Put your shoes on and the dog leashes by the door in case you have to scram.

Text someone to see if they have power.

Light candles.

Watch the firemen roam around outside your door.

Wave the towel under the smoke alarm (from the candles), hope the firemen don’t hear it.

Listen to the people upstairs on their deck trying to find out what’s up.

Read by candle light and wonder how people in the early days weren’t all blind with headaches.

Wave the towel under the smoke alarm again

Put out a couple of candles, do we really need the one on the dining room table?

Take the dogs for a walk

Go to bed. 

Wake up when the lights go back on.

Turn all the lights off, ironic don’t you think?

Go to bed.
