Powerless

From the “if it’s not one thing, it’s another” department, yesterday evening all the lights in my apartment faded to about half power. I thought to myself, “oh no, I’m having a stroke!” Then after a little while I realized I was not having a stroke, but the power in building was low. Shortly thereafter the power went completely off. By 8:45 p.m. it had not returned, so Erica and I elected to spend the night at my parents house in Vienna rather than in our apartment on the 17th floor with no lights or water. I don’t know if the power came back on yet.
