Halloween and a Birthday

10/31/2015

 
 Today was a very interesting day. We woke up in the middle of the night with high winds and torrential rains. We went right back to sleep but woke up to storms again around 5. Dad went outside and discovered that while it was really windy, it wasn't raining much. So we decided to take the puppies out for a potty break before it started raining again. When we got back inside, we went back to bed, but then we started hearing funny noises. We heard a transformer blow behind our house. Our lights were still on at that point. Soon afterwards though, we started hearing the transformer closest to us make noises too. It sounded like it was revving up. The clock in our bedroom flashed a few times, and the little fan stopped a couple of times before the lights went all the way out, shortly before 6. With the two of us and all five dogs in the bedroom, it started heating up pretty quickly. Mr. M, who gets hot quickly, started panting, so we put the puppies in their crates, where they would be cooler.
We tried going back to sleep, but at that point, we were already wide awake. In the days before getting the puppies, we used to camp regularly. Because of our camping habit, we are fairly well equipped for bad weather. We got out our propane stove, and set it up on the porch. We would have used it in the house, but it needs to be used in a well ventilated area. We got out a cast iron griddle and a tea kettle and went to work. Then we ate our bacon and eggs and drank our coffee by candlelight. The puppies were a little disappointed that they didn't get to share.
The lights were off for about 5 hours before they came back on again. It stormed off and on pretty much all day. There were branches down all over the neighborhood. The people two houses down from us had their fence blow over completely, which the puppies noticed of course.
Later in the day we decided that we needed to do something for Miss M since today was her birthday. We had planned on going to Buddy Bites for a birthday cookie, but the weather was just too bad to go anywhere. So instead we went to Petsmart and got a container of Pup-kin Spice Latte treats. The puppies loved them. We got Miss M a little pumpkin costume as a birthday outfit. All in all, it was a successful birthday.

This happens with me as my birthday falls one day later Halloween so my friend decided to throw a birthday party on Halloween. The birthday party was themed as Halloween and everyone wore costumes and my costume was also arranged by them. They arranged a Rapunzel costume for me because I have had very long hair then.
