Not a lot to write about today seeing as how I was stuck at the theater all day. I made it to the third season of Arrested Development, started reading the second book in the Ender's Game series, and crocheted a bunch of leaves for possible use in the future.

I also went through a bunch of cough drops because my throat has been killing me all day. I blame the tech guy who came to the theater last night to fix the sound in one of the theaters. He had a fever and was coughing all over the place.

My car was nearly crushed beneath half of one of the medium trees we have in the theater parking lot. We had a bit of a storm pass through earlier in the night and half the tree was knocked down. Right between my car and the car in front of me and the car next to me. Before I went on break I was parked in the spot ahead of me, and had I been parked there after my break, the tree would have come down on my car. As it was, I just had a few small branches leaning up against my car, and at least in the dark it didn't look like I even had a scratch. I was incredibly lucky.

When I got home the power was out. This was weird because usually we are on the same grid as the theater, and the power only flickered at the theater, it didn't go out. Thankfully. But it was out at home so the place was a pitch black cavern. I didn't have a flashlight on me but seeing as how I live here, I know where everything is and managed to make it to my room without running into anything. With the power being out it was also deafeningly quiet. I normally sleep with my computer on for the fan noise and I have music playing. Despite my incredible tiredness, it took me awhile to fall asleep. Which I can mention here because I am currently writing this on the day after, seeing as how the power was out last night.
