I Lack Fuel and Electricity !

Power Outage
I never finished my post last night because as I was writing it we lost power. The strange thing was there was no storm but there was a pretty significant area in the city without power for about 3-4 hours. Ara woke up the instant the power went out. She relies on her little night light and fan for white noise and she was scared. "A" was out with an old friend and I have to admit I was a little shaken by the outage.. what a dork am I? I used my phone as a flashlight because I couldn't find anything else. I put the one sad little scented candle I had in the bathroom on the kitchen table and Ara and I settled down in her room watching a movie on the laptop.

It was a long night, Ara was hyper and up way past her bedtime, A was grumpy and obsessed with finding wireless networks with his laptop, and I was tired. I eventually got Ara to sleep by using my iPod as a night light. Then I fell asleep on the couch. It was hot and dark and silent, how could anyone not sleep?

Petrol
The car ran out of gas again today. Luckily it was as we were pulling up to our house and I just parked it and Ara and I spent the majority of the day at home. Before you tell me I am a retard for running out of gas there is something you need to know... the entire dashboard of our car doesn't work! Not even the odometer so it's always a guessing game. "A" and I had just talked about getting gas in the evening when we picked him up. My Mom came later in the day and took Ara and I swimming. Then she let us borrow her car until tomorrow morning so we were saved! Saved! I almost said that I hated my car but I don't want bad car karma. I mean it still gets us around and still has AC so the purple car lives on!

Tomorrow
Workout tomorrow morning (and getting gas in the little jug thing for the car and returning my Mom's car) whew that was a long parenthesis.

We got groceries today, yay!
