Surviving without electricity

I've lived almost 4 nights now without any electricity. Now, this wouldn't be too bad except for a couple of things.

1) It finally got cold in Melbourne or I forgot what 'cold' used to feel like. I almost put my winter coat on to sleep last night it was soo cold.
2) No hot water is just miserable when it's 15 degrees outside - I think that's in the 50's?
3) I'm 27 and still scared shitless of the dark. This is like some sort of sick therapy for a woman that slept with the bathroom light on for the last 4 years, and wouldn't dare walk into a dark room without turning on the light. And to top it all off, for some brainless reason, I passed up the posh apartment in Richmond (mainly because it was next to a prostitution house and didn't have washer/dryer connections) for an 'old Irish pub' turned apartment. Now for all of you who know me, shame on you for not reminding me I have a habit of attracting ghosts. Remember the toilet paper ghosts who like to shut the door to the bathroom at my first Austin apartment? Well the ghost here likes to walk across the wood floor upstairs and then in a flash start making a 'snap snap snap' sound from the kitchen. I nearly peed my pants last night when it first happened. Then I told told the ghost I was tired and going to bed, and he seemed to have left me alone.

That's it for now, night is setting in, and I'm freezing my nipples off - so to bed I go.
