It's time for the "Five Minute Friday" blogging post. The inspiration comes from Lisa Jo Baker.
What you do is set your timer for five minutes and write whatever you want according to the prompt Lisa places on her blog every Friday. Then you go back, link your blog and give support to those who posted before you. And, we connect on Twitter with #FiveMinuteFriday.
Ready.
Set.
Go.
Today was one of those days where I had to jump into action. First of all the power went out. A transformer blew at the end of our street. I had a doctor appointment that I needed to get ready for so I ended up taking a shower in the dark. If you've ever tried shaving under your arms in the dark, be so careful. I had to take it really slow. Then after I got dressed, I went out into the living room and found our hallway, wet room and around the 300 gallon saltwater aquarium flooded. The power going off reversed the pumps and they sucked water into the 100 gallon sump under the aquarium. More water than could fit flooded over the sump and onto the ceramic tile floor. Yes, we have ceramic tile instead of carpet for just such occasions. I had to use every spare towel we had to soak up the mess and I still couldn't get it all. Text messaging to hubby turned into a frantic phone call and him making the decision to come home from work and deal with it. What a mess! I jumped into action to get ready for my doctor appointment and headed out to the garage to leave in the Prius. Halted by an electronic garage door opener that didn't work with the power outage. So, I had to jump into action again by leaving out the front door and taking the minivan parked in the driveway.
