What a freakin' week this has been.
Monday, we got thunderstorms, and lightning struck very near my house, and suddenly, we were without power. The phones also went out.
At 2 a.m., I had to make an emergency run for ice and candles -- NiMo's hotline said we might not have power for a day or two more, and we had to hurry and ice down as much of the contents of the fridge/freezer as possible so we wouldn't lose everything.
We got power back Tuesday afternoon, 22 hours later.
Then, I went to work and the whole system, corporate-wide, had melted down. We got that back up and running later on, but the night was crazy.
Wednesday, still no phones at home (no phone = no Internet), more system problems, another horrible night.
Today, finally, a decent day, Dad figured out the whole phone thing (though we both need new powerstrips now) and things are returning to normal.
What a goddamn week. Good to be back, though. :)
