A Misunder-fan-ding

I woke up last night just dying of heat, thinking that the power had gone out because the fan was off. It occurred to me that I should check to see that the fan switch was turned on, but it seemed like a bad idea, because we always keep the fan on at night, and the probability that Jarrod had gotten up and turned it off was low, especially after he woke up and asked, "Is the power out?"

So I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, which was difficult, because the fan also acts as a white noise producer, drowning out the sounds of honking cars and fighting dogs. I had a headache, and the yips coming from the distance didn't help, let alone the oppressive heat.

In the morning I woke up, still surprised that the power was out. Usually power cuts last for a half hour or less. Then I got out of bed and flicked the fan switch to on. So...yeah.
