My new year actually started with a major power outage… that lasted 2 full days! Yes, 48 hours in the cold of winter. No light, no heat, and at times no emergency back-up lights either. I really hope it’s not a sign of what’s to come this year. It would have been really awful except we were generously provided accommodation by family in neighborhood by the end of day 1 (New Years Eve). Feeling really lucky and grateful for that, but I’m starting to feel like my apartment is cursed.

In all seriousness though, I hope everyone had a fabulous new years… with adequate lighting and heat. Happy 2012! Let’s make it awesome.
