All's well that ends well

I just had a bit of a start   It's raining but no thunder, no lightning.  Suddenly I hear a large SNAP and immediately after a clap of thunder.  Never did see lightning.  I thought the power in whole house was out.   When I checked the breaker box in the house I noticed the fish room was working.  The breakers were all fine.  I checked the box on the side of the house with the big breakers.  Fine.  I checked both boxes twice   Then I realized that while I was in the computer room I had no lights on anywhere but the fish room.  Felt like an idiot when I started turning on lights and they all worked   The only thing it went for was New Faithful and she came back on all by herself.  Finally I realized that the power went off only momentarily.  Silly me.  I wish I were better at not thinking the worst when something I depend on breaks.  I'm that way with my vehicles.  I was that way when I saw the tree was fixin' to fall on my house.   I go into a panic when something goes wrong that I can't fix.

I wish I could get it through my thick head that it will be fine.  I know damn good and well that no matter what goes unexpectedly wrong with something I need but can't fix I always feel that I came out of it better for going through it.  I make buddies of the nice folks that make it all right again.  I always like them and they always like me.  It has happened like that every time for me.

We had that happen yesterday morning. Doug was still in bed...I was in the kitchen getting Fritz's bowl of food. Fritz freaked when the power flashed off then on and he ran back into bed with Doug.  Brave Doberman. Lol
