Going to be a hot one today. In the 90's which is warm for us this time of year. Also due to all the wildfires in combination with the heat we are being advised not to be outside due to air quality. So I guess we'll hang inside all day. Going to try story time at the library this morning and then not sure what else.

only minor damage that is fixable. so we are extremely lucky. right now the hassle is no power, kids off their routine, and living out of a suitcase. in the grand scheme of things we are good - compared to all those who have lost so much more. I really shouldn't be complaining. Someone will always "have it worse" That doesn't mean you can't feel stressed,overwhelmed and upset. Your feelings are valid. You deserve to feel them. Sending virtual hugs.

mrspiatt, I am so happy you have your dinning room back. I can't imagine what a hassle that has been when trying to pack up to move. Yea! 1 less stressful thing for you.

jedi,thank you! I understand that too. I just keep telling myself that so many lost everything. Because comparing what the keys went thru and what i'm going thru are at 2 different extremes. The eye came thru us and we are very lucky with the damage. BUT I don't ever want to go thru that again. or this. this could be worse than the 12 hours i was terrified.

I really shouldn't be complaining. Make sure to unplug your electronics and appliances if they aren't already off. We were off for a week after Sandy, and when we came back up it was because we were on generator trucks. Which.... were not consistent in wattage at first and fried a bunch of appliances.

Today is my last full day to pack before the movers come. Tomorrow A has a play date that I'm going to try to stick to. This has all been so much for her and she's been such a trooper. Then I need to go sign the lease, and buy a fridge. I'm also hailing to find an inexpensive table and chairs. The set we have here is too big for the new place. Saturday is moving day! DD1 is in Washington visiting H's dad and stepmom. They told her if she went to visit them they'd pay her airfare and buy her a MacBook Pro. I'm happy she's getting it, but it annoys me that they try to buy people like that. It's main cause for the strain in the relationship (or lack of) H has with his dad. Anyway... her bf was going to hang out with Worm on Saturday while we're moving and then take her with him to pick up DD1 from the airport... turns out he can't because he forgot his band has a show. He's also not picking DD1 up from the airport... le sigh. We have movers loading and unloading the truck, so I think I'll just keep her with me. It's not like I'll be doing any lifting so I should be able to keep an eye on her easy enough. Edit - fixed a typo- I'm sure there are more.

Peekaru, i didn't unplug fridge. i emptied them and left them ajar so they wouldn't mold. i have also replugged the tv's. BUT we won't be on generator trucks. they will restore completely. That's the delay, they are "assessing" so they can repair.

Also, I'm supposed to have major abdominal surgery, and I'm supposed to be home in 23 hours.
What if I haven't any poop?

Peekaru, they're probably going to want you to shit before you leave.

Isn't that kind of standard after major procedures?

Betweenthelines, I thought so. Maybe, I'll make sure to have an enema prior. I have small kids, let's stay in the hospital to avoid leaping children.

Hi! E is with my mom. DH is getting off early to be with H while I go get my hair done. This is my last free Thursday until mid-December... I have an exam every Thursday at 8am at my school, which is almost an hour away.

I am on lunch, and a woman just strolled by me, on a busy Manhattan block, with curlers in her hair and a face mask. That's a new level of casual— way beyond pj pants in public.

I'm glad you at least have booze RunsforWineandCarbs! I hope you get power back and things become more bearable soon. ETA: I see there's a rumor you have power. Hooray!

I remember after my csection I had a harder time peeing the first time rather than shiting.
