No power

[Swatcat27]

Preparing for a long trip is always nerve-wracking for me. I tend to think that I'm forgetting something I would really need to take and agonize over the fact endlessly. I leave for a 3 week trip to India in 3 days & to top it off, I have been without power for almost 3 days now. I need to pack & my house is completely dark and I'm losing it. I have set myself a deadline till this evening after which I plan to haul everything & go to a friend's house to pack...but then that's 250 lbs of stuff to haul. I dont blame the power company, they are working their butts off - just pi$$ed at the timing of this crap.

My heart goes out to anyone having to deal without power for a span of 2 or 3 days or more. Back when I lived with my parents in West County anytime the wind blew or there was a thunderstorm of any kind of severity over the last three years, we'd lose power, and typically for at least 3 days at a time. Since 2004, we've lost power there for at least a week each time on 4 different occasions. My parents finally gave up and bought a small generator so they can keep the heat/AC going and the fridge going.
