The power was out, it already happened once today, a real pain getting back online waiting for various modems/servers to reinitialize.
However the room I'm in is small and dark and its dusk outside so I realized I was trapped because when I tried to oonch forwards out of the chairs embrace I discovered that my weight made it tip up so I couldn't get out of it and my knees won't work at the full recline level and my arms arent strong enough to lift myself up using the arms of the chair.
It dawned on me that if the power didnt come back on I was slightly in a bit of a spot as if the heating dies I'd be blind as a bat and freezing my ass off and unable to reach my closet to find warm clothing. Its 72 in here now so I'm sitting around with nothing but a T shirt on.
Well the reason why I was alarmed at the potential for a long dark cold imprisonment was because I thought perhaps the electric bill wasnt paid up. A definite possibility in this household but luckily as it turned out everythings paid up and the power came back after fifteen minutes.
But for a while there it was a bit alarming. I think a cup of tea is in order.
