When the town goes dark and free money in the mail!

So, several weeks ago we both scheduled appointments to get our batteries on our IPhones changed out with Apple’s defect recall on the battery.

I decided to go today and get it changed out.  When I got to Reston Town Center, I pulled into the garage and noticed that the lights were out.  I thought maybe it was just the garage and parked, and walked towards the store.  There was a parking attendant and I mentioned to him that the lights were out and he told me that the electricity was out for the whole center.

So I continued to walk over the store and found out that the power had been out for at least 15 minutes.  I figured I’d hang out for awhile and see if the power came back on.  Nope - I waited about 45 minutes to an hour and nothing.  So, I extended our time to change the battery, and we’re going to set a date to go out for the whole day (dinner, movie, shopping) on a weekend.

One good thing that happened today was that I got a $20 gift certificate in the mail from Copperwood  Tavern.  Last week they had a Facebook contest on National Puppy Day by posting a picture of your pup.  Of course I posted.  I didn’t win the big prize ($50 gift certificate), but they offered $20 to EVERYONE who posted as long as you sent them your address.

Theo is still feeling sore.  He yelped when Dan wiped him down after the walk, but he seems to be doing ok since he was laying on that side.  He’s not playing as much today.  We’ll see how he does tomorrow.
