I love the predictable.

So the past week has been interesting.

We've showered in three different places - none of which were our own home. We've stayed warm with a mini fireplace, a friend's wood stove and a generator-powered furnace. Getting ready in the morning involved packing clothes to take a shower somewhere else in the evening and grabbing the cooler full of food that we placed outside over night but have to bring with us to work during the day to refrigerate.

Our living room is packed full of the contents of our storage building which is now a ball of tinfoil. The carpet and kitchen floor is thick with kitty litter that allowed us to walk safely on the porch but turned into a huge mess. Our dining room holds the contents of our second living room, such as our 60" television, the stand and all its contents when we thought a tree was going to go through our roof.

I won't even go into the toilets which can't be flushed unless we haul enough water home to fill the tank first...

Yea. I'm ready for our power to come back on. I'm ready for the typical. I'm ready for my predictable life to return!
