There are no D batteries left in Virginia. I couldn't find my flashlight, so I went out and got two of the last three flashlights. I left the very last one for some other desperate idiot, as an act of good karma.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I bought my D batteries on Friday, but when I was at the hardware store there were small LED flashlights that took AAA batteries. So, I picked one of those up too, just in case.
I slacked off after putting the laundry in because my back seized up, but since then I have cleaned out the sink full of dirty dishes and made dinner with TCG's help. We made what we call pantry pasta, which consists of whatever we had on hand. Tonight that means, kalamata olives, roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, ricotta salata, and parsley all chopped up and mixed with a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil and garlic. No cooking of the sauce required.

Bonus is that there are ALWAYS AAAs left in the stores! I've got 2 (well, 3 but I can't find it) of those and want to buy many many more.

Trust my rage
I am finally sitting down after washing, drying, and putting away 4 loads of laundry and one load of diapers. Ellie spent the night with a friend (first friend sleepover) and it was so much easier with one less child. Apparently, she stayed up "all night" but I don't buy it because she's pretty functional.

Yes, and there are always extra here too, because we only have one thing that uses them, and I tend to buy the batteries in bulk.

My cousin had a little girl today! She's in NJ, and I was so worried that she wasn't going to be able to get to the hospital in the storm, so I'm glad that all is well.

The status is NOT quo.
Checking in: I napped and have now graded five essays. Going to pick up the pooch and then back to work. Thanks for the motivation...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy, have you got your hatches battened down?
All set. We have a kinetic flashlight, a land-line, 2-3 days of water in the tank on the roof, some food, and live about a hundred feet above sea-level. All set!
Mom: Do you have enough food in the house?
Me: If we lose power I've got pb&j for three days. I'm good.
I'm in a fortunate position emergency-wise.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My flashlights seem to have disappeared. I know that I own some, but I looked everywhere and can't find them.
