Hurricanes.......

We are in the midst of surviving Hurricane Ilene.  Oh, not to worry - we are many miles away from the ocean and the nearest river would have to rise to Armaggedon proportions to hit us.  There are flash floods all around us, and some water in the basement, but overall we will be fine.

But suddenly, we have to be concerned about power outages.  Currently 6,000 people in our county are without power.  Well, heck. it's summer, not too cold, and we can manage with candles and such if we need to.  Or we could, last week.  THIS week we have to figure out what we would do with Babygirl's dialysis machine. If the power goes out during a treatment, it locks down.  If we were without power for more than a night we'd have to go to gravity fed dialysis, for which I think we have all the equipment (although hubby says we are missing one piece).  But hey, the classes were already a few days ago, and they handled that subject on the very first day. 

Oh my goodness.  I have to sharpen up a little, which is tough to do on so little sleep.

I'm off to bed.
