Warning: Power Dies Upon Publishing

So I sit down at the computer, bring up one of my trusty local blog editors with at least 3 posts revolving around my little pea brain ready to write up, categorize, tag, title and publish. I love it when I feel like this cuz’ there’s always a couple of good posts in it. It’s a beautiful day, bright, sunny and in the 80’s–no wind, lightening, or hail to take out the power as it has been of late. So off I go…

…and the power goes out.

Ooookay. So maybe somebody turned on the air conditioner that broke the power company’s back, who knows?

Wait…

…and the power comes back on.

Power up the computer, reboot the wireless router, Internet’s back, did my post get auto saved? Yes, it did–onward.

Banging through the first paragraph now and on to the second–alright, time to scrounge that image off of Google News, got it! Insert into post, align properly and…

…the power goes out. [Insert: Vivid cursing here]

Wait…

So what the hell is this anyway? It’s beautiful, it’s sunny, not even a breeze so what is it this time? Another squirrel blow itself up in the sub-station? Sheeesh!

Power comes back on.

This time I’m waiting. Empty the dish washer, put away dishes, put away freshly washed clothes, walk around house just to say I did, come back in…power still on. Power up computer, reboot wireles router, check for saved post, onward once again…

Second paragraph down and onto the third–made it! A fourth and final closing paragraph, tag and…

…power goes out.

Okay, that’s it! Call power company, get a recording, says that Newport is experiencing a power outage (no sh**), all crews working on it, blah-blah-blah-natter-natter-natter, so why wait on hold just to get a tired, fed up operator who will just tell me the same thing?

Ate dinner, went for a walk with my honey.

And now we’re back. Did the power up, reboot routine again, post was saved as usual, finished it up and publish…success! It’s up! it’s there! Power’s still on! Four hours to publish a four paragraph post but I made it!

Yes!

Now onto the next. Do I even remember what it was supposed to be about? Oh yeah, it was about…
