We had a power outage today that made me really feel for those in CA because 6 hours was more than enough.

I somehow had a shelf with glass mice I collect on it come smashing down and hit a globe shaped glass lamp and shattered that, terrifying my cats. There was a tree down across the neighbors drive behind me but I'm thinking that they heard that noise and that the transformer blew which is a scary enough sound to make anyone hide under the couch for 8 hours.

Now I've got a weird problem; I think my thermostat was destroyed somehow. It doesn't matter what I set it on, if it is set to "heat" it keeps running until I wonder if I'm having hot flashes again and it is at 76 degrees. Right now I'm testing to see if it will go below the set temp but I'm pretty sure it will. So I'm trying to clean up my house some in case we have to call someone out to fix it tomorrow.

Really hoping for a miracle....
