As if on cue, the clouds have rolled in, and thunderstorms are in the forecast for tomorrow. My dearest hope is that, having lost power once this year, I've had my share and everything will be ok. Also, having lost power during last year's Blogathon, the powers that be will pass me by this time around. However, I am preparing a contingency plan.

Since the person who rescued me last year with a laptop computer has been magically transformed into a walking phallus this year, I'm on my own. So, if my luck goes sour and the power goes out at any time during the Blogathon, I will write down my would-be posts (at least once every thirty minutes), and type them in as soon as the power comes back. I reeeeeeeeeeeeally hope it doesn't have to come to that.

Otherwise, I'm all prepared. I've got junk food and soda to see me through those long hours. I've got an egg timer to help me remember to post. Sometime tomorrow, I'll even have a couch to rest on when the computer chair is too much, but I need to avoid the siren song of the bed.

Remember, it's not to late to sponsor me. (It'd be great to pass $300...only $38 to that mark.)
