#)%($!!

I hate power outages at night. I can't sleep without my white noise. Worse, being jolted out of sleep (and then having to let a crying 5-year-old know what's going on) upsets my stomach and makes it hard to go back to sleep.

Given my current condition, I *really* *neeed* that sleep.



Plus of course I always worry now that the sump pump backup will fail and I'll have another flood in the basement.
