    \n
  1. In the shower past dark<\/li>\n
  2. In the middle of a movie, especially at key moments \u2013 what a bummer!<\/li>\n
  3. When it is hot and we are trying to go to sleep, it quickly goes from really hot to miserably hot<\/li>\n
  4. When our water tank on top runs out – without \u00a0a pump we now have a water and electricity outage<\/li>\n
  5. At a time for a scheduled skype meeting, often people in the states forget we can lose power.<\/li>\n
  6. When company is over or about to come over<\/li>\n
  7. When we already had more work to do than we had time for<\/li>\n
  8. When the last power outage was long enough ago that we forgot what we did with our flashlights.<\/li>\n
  9. When anyone is sick \u2013 stress added to discomfort is never a good combination<\/li>\n
  10. When everything I need is in the fridge or freezer and the fridge has already been open too many times\u2013 so frustrating!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All of these have happened to us at one time or another and I was reminded of them as our power went out tonight.\u00a0 In fact I am even writing this by flashlight, which is not nearly as romantic as it sounds.\u00a0 I needed something light hearted to lighten the load.\u00a0 Tyler fell sick with high fevers Saturday, but thankfully it only lasted 1 day.\u00a0 The fridge is hanging in as well, although we did lose it for one day – also last Saturday (which was a stretching day to say the least).\u00a0 5 more days until Joel is home\u2026we are surviving one day at a time.<\/p>\n
