Livin' the Amish life

The electricity went off in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. What the ef?! I can't deal with that stuff when I'm trying to sleep. I need my room to be properly lighted (by the outside streetlamp) and properly cooled and white-noised (by my awesome remote-controlled fan) in order to have a restful sleep. So the instant the electricity goes off, I wake up. Ah, crap.

So here is a list of things I learned in the middle of the night:

*Silence is not golden.

*I am unnaturally in love with my oscillating fan.

*Apparently, 5 a.m. is optimal digesting time.

*I am afraid of the dark.

*I think about the stupidest crap while waiting for electricity to come back on.

Eventually I did fall asleep, which is really like a miracle in itself. It was restless, however, because I spent a lot of time trying to find new cold spots on the bed. And yet, I still wake up a little sweaty-feeling. Eh.
