Electricity and such

So some days you just know.  Nothing really happens, you wake up and you just know.  You know it's going to be one of those days.  That means different things for different people.  For me, I know exactly what it means and I usually think I can handle it myself.  I'm learning different.

Then there are those days, the alarm goes off, you pop up out of bed, no problem.  Yea! for those mornings!! Right?  

So today, the ever so soothing morning alarm rang, I politely allowed my ever so tired body another 5 minutes of rest (that never really is restful is it?) before heading to the shower.  Now, I love the mornings but not necessarily the light bulb lights.  So my normal routine is to only turn on the shower light and I did that very thing this morning. So the rest of the house and bathroom is pitch black except for my shower light. About 45 seconds into my deluge of hot water, the light begins to slowly dim. That's nice, I thought, easier on the eyes! Wonder why? Then a pop! and flash and total darkness. Hmmmm ok except for the shaving part, right? So I carefully finish in utter darkness until I can get out and turn on the bathroom light. OUCH! Really bright now since I've experienced the darkness for several minutes.

Lights on, begin to finish getting ready for the day. Plug in hair dryer as usual and begin to blow dry hair. POP! FLASH! FIRE! SMOKE!  The hair dryer is on fire!!! and then dead.  It's gonna be a great hair day...(thank you Justin for leaving your hair dryer behind!)

Fortunately, I still have time to make the post office and SBUX before arriving at school in the dark.  God is good, with all the lights out so far this morning, I was greeted outside by the fullest, brightest moon I've seen in a long time!  Ok, actually saw it yesterday as well and it was great but today just appreciated it sooo much more. 

Yep. It did turn out to be one of those days.  Though not my favorite type of day, it did begin and end with a light from above that reminds me He really is still here.
