What a miserable weekend... We got out of work early on Friday (Navy's birthday *gag*) so I called one of my few friends on the island. He was on the other side in Honolulu buying MtG cards or something and said he'd call me back when he got to this side. He never did... So I just hung around the house doing nothing most of the day.

Saturday I called my husband (who is away in Washington for some school) but he wouldn't talk to me either because he was playing golf. I said something about him always being to busy to talk to me when I call him and my other friends all being to busy to talk to me and then said "I love you, bye." and hung up. Apparently that pissed him off and he didn't call me for the rest of the day so I spent most of Saturday trying to take my mind off being depressed 'cause I'm such a loser and nobody likes me. Well... I do have a few friends, but I guess none of them are here.

Sunday, I woke up to my house shaking. It stopped, I thought I was going crazy, then it started again and the power went out. I continued to think I was going crazy (all by myself in the house so I didn't have anybody to turn to and say "Did you feel that?") until I walked over to the store and the power was out there too and the people standing outside told me we had a 6.5 earthquake. We must have been a bit away from it because I know it didn't shake that bad here. I think that's like the third one in the past 3 or 4 months... The other two I didn't feel at all. So anyway, my phone is being all whacked out and it takes me a couple tries to get through to anybody. I assume that the quake did something to the towers or something. Oh yeah, did I mention it was also raining when the power went out? While I was standing outside the store, somebody had the radio on in their car and the people are talking about tsunamis... so I'm just like -.- fuck... My cat carriers have been sitting by the door all day in case the tsunami siren went off. So I could stuff the kids in them and hopefully get a ride with somebody headed toward higher ground. Like 6 hours passed and no siren... I'm still a bit worried about it, but I went over to the exchange real quick and bought a Coleman stove, skillet, 4 propane tanks, a big cooler (turned out nobody had any ice), some waterproof matches and one of those cool long lighters with a bendy thing where the flame comes out. Apparently the whole island (excepting those with generators) lost power. It was out for about 14 hours. Suck. It only got down up to about 55 degrees F in my fridge. And my freezer must not have gotten too warm (I didn't open it) because my ice cream wasn't even melted. The milk still smelled and tasted okay so I drank it because I figured after that it wasn't going to last very long. I don't think I had anything else that was really super perishable in my fridge.

So, all is well again and I get to paint walls and/or clean floors at work tomorrow... Yay... -.-;



Edit: Oh yeah... My phone got down to one bar and I couldn't talk to my husband because he didn't want my phone dead in case I needed it... So now I'm looking for a solar charger...
