First the sump pump, then the mower, and then a power outage!?!?!?!?!??!?!

Yup. That's been my day. Somehow, between all of these problems I did manage to get some work done. The generator started right up, buying me some breathing room until the power came back on. Which it just did.

It's going to be an early night for me, that's for sure.

But yeah, it's wonderful how all the household stuff seems to all decide to conk out at the same time.
Sounds like snuggle time with the kid cats is on the agenda tonight. Hope you get a good night's rest!

the kitties have show up at your doorstep. No matter what, they are there for you. The one I have now is my first who insists I am here for him - no exceptions!
