Where it is dark

It is dark in my house. It started being dark last night at around 10. When I got home at midnight and opened the door, the first thing I thought was that the ferret might slip past me in the dark and Escape. And then I thought if I shut the door in a hurry to keep her in, I might instead Decapitate her. So I shut the door slowly just in case she was Escaping, and then searched for her, in the dark, to see if she had Escaped. She had not, and was surprisingly easy to find, given the darkness and the general smallness of weasels.

But yes, very dark. Less dark now, with what we shall loosely term the "daylight" seeping in around the blinds. But still dark, or at least I assume so. I myself Escaped to work, where it is both light and Internet-connected, so I really don't know what's going on at home. It could be light there by now, which would be great. Optimally, the power will come back on in time for the cable guy to come fix my cable, as he is scheduled to do this afternoon. I'll be sad if there's no power when I get home, and when it comes back on, Sci-fi is still all snowy.

Buddy, can you spare a shower?
