OT: Grrrr! In the dark again!!
I want to rant!!

I am neck deep in receipts, trying desperately to get our 2011 taxes done BEFORE I go to the National Goat Expo. All week it has been one distraction after another. Yesterday was a lovely rainy day and all was going well...until the lights went out. It was late in the day and I took it in stride. This morning I got up early while it was quiet and have just been sorting and adding and doing my thing and...the lights went out again!!!!

Argghhh!!!

Maybe it won't last long...maybe

Whats up with the no power stuff? That sucks! Don't suppose you have a battery powered calculator and was doing your taxes on paper first.....that would have been too easy. Sorry for your bad luck.

I DO have a battery powered adding machine. It is just so dark that I can't SEE.

After about 2 hours, the lights came on! Let's just hope they STAY on!

"Nothing is certain but death and taxes" Heck ,even if the lights go out again-go to the show and enjoy. A few days later shouldn't add too much of a penalty if ya owe in. And the goat expo is only once a year, if you're lucky enough to live close enough to go (unlike me)

I'm just a poor little rebel like that...

And I am a type "A" personality (I have been called "anal"...a lot.) I can't even watch a movie...if there is something else that needs to be done. I am trying to reform...there has to be an "-anonymous" for this...
