Randomness and being thankful

So today has been quite a decent day.  Work started a little rough with a 6am client on a Saturday, but it worked out well. I was done with everyone by 10am and ready to go to the UC v Purdue game by 10:15.  This was a great way to start off the season! We crushed Purdue :) That makes for a happy midget :) Now, trying to be a good triathlete I was downing water because I was SUPPOSED to do a 90 min bike and 20 min run today.  It was 96 degrees out and said it felt at least like 102. When we got to the car my thermometer thing said 109. Awesome.  Well, after the game we grabbed a Powerade from BP to get done electrolytes in because our clothes were  absolutely drenched in sweat, and I was still intending to bike and run. We get home finally and grab some food and the sky starts to look pretty ugly.  According to the radar we weren't supposed to get hit and everything was supposed to go north. The weatherman was wrong. I know, such a shocker. It started storming and absolutely pouring. Lightening was going crazy, and poor Zo was scared of the thunder. She decided to burrow under the pillow Red was using.  Red was just heading downstairs to switch laundry over when our power went out. Meh, well that was nearly 3 hours ago.

So 3 hours without power actually isn't that bad. Red's company just allowed their employees to enable the mobile hotspot function for their phones on the company's dime :) Yeah! Also, Red has been traveling a lot so he decided that having a better way to charge his phone and tablet would be a Powergen battery pack instead of fighting for an outlet at airports. We are currently testing it out as we still don't have power but have fully charged phones. Yep, no power doesn't mean no entertainment. Another thing we have to be thankful for is the fact that we have gas for our stove and water heater.  This means we were still able to have a delicious meal (prepared by Red), and take comfy hot showers. Possibly one of the best things we have is the ability to put screens in our windows. It was really warm, but that storm blew through and it dropped about 15 degrees. We opened the windows and put the screens in so we can have a decent breeze in the house.  All of these things combined to have quite a comfortable evening playing on our phones, watching football on the ipad, shower, and not feel like we're in a sweat box.  I'm very ok with all of this.

Now tomorrow I need to go back to being a good triathlete and get my swim and run in.  I may do the bike I was supposed to do today after my run, but we'll see what all happens!  Hopefully the power comes on soon, or I may just go to bed when the ipad dies and take advantage of sine much needed sleep.  One more week until Rev3 Cedar Point 70.3!! It's almost go time!
