Default Blazer drives, but battery may be dead...

Last night driving home everything inside the car just turned off but the engine was still running. Didnt drive any faster than 40mph on my way home. Made it home and turned the car off. Restarted it again last night and this morning and it ran fine. But all off the interior lighting (dashboard gauges, temperature gauge, radio) still wouldnt turn on. I tried turning on my directionals and high beams and they worked fine, and the symbol for those on the dash were flashing fine as well. Is this a sign that the battery is going? or a blown fuse maybe? I havent had the time to unplug the battery to restart it yet, at work now.

Check your fuses and make sure the dashlight dimmer roller switch is not turned all the way down. Electricals can be crazy, but I doubt the battery has anything to do with this issue.
