Life in the Dark

It's been a few days. Did you miss me? I thought so.

As you may remember, I am living at the new house, alone, and it doesn't have electricity.

Three nights living by flashlight...kind of weird.

The first night, I don't think I everyachieved a deep sleep. Every little noise jerked me up. And when the roof (metal) contracted, it sounded like a shot gun. That whipped me out of bed a few times.

You think I should suck it up and act like a man? You try it and we'll talk, alright.

The second night, I was so tired I slept like a baby. It was great.

The third night was good too.

I purchased a new generator and hooked it up today. That means electricity tonight, at least for the evening. (I'm not running it all night) I can't tell you how excited I am. Being able to read with out holding a flashlight, walk around from room to room, even go outside and see a little bit.

The only problem...

I now have a highly desirable generator, ripe for the stealing. I am a much more attractive target tonight and that has me a little worried. We will keep it in the house which means that they will do more damage getting to it than before. We don't know if this is wise but it is hard to get everything done at once, like building Fort Knox to hold the generator.

To be continued...
