Iiiiieeeee! Weather!

[cupcake_goth]

The lights have been flickering, which means I've made sure there are candles (and matches or lighters next to them!) scattered throughout the house, Just In Case.

Not quite as entertaining is the notion that I'm working from home tomorrow, because we need to wait for the contractor who is going to repair the leak in our roof (!!!) to turn up. I did not ask for a leaky roof. I very specifically asked for, oh, a teleportation device. Or a pink furry handbag. Not a leaky roof.

Anyway, any and all wishes for a quick and inexpensive fix to the roof problem will be gratefully accepted.

Well wishes sent your way! I'll also send along some virtual chocolate cupcakes. :)

Raw weather you folks get up there, eh?

I've briefly lost power down here twice tonight. Lots of areas are really powerless though with the fallen trees and power lines. I have a fire and many candles burning Just In Case. Also because they are pretty.

My fire obsession works out well nights like these.

I hope the roof is a quick and simple and financially painless fix.

A leaky roof? Oy. I'll think dry thoughts at you if you'll think calm thoughts at my son.

Good luck with the roof! Batten down those hatches...

The wind just started in Interbay again, so I expect it just hit up in Greenwood, as well.

I wish I had a dog, so that when my apartment collapses and it's weeks before society rebuilds itself and comes to save me, I would have something besides shortbread to eat.

Oh, L says she has no power, so it's all candles at her place? And S reading with a flashlight. I think the boy has no imagination.

And we are *still* without power this morning. Most of our grid was down - we drove forever trying to find an open gas station (or open anything) before turning around and catching the bus. Work has power, as does $BUX, so society as I know it will survive. However, it does mean throwing out all the stuff in the fridge (freezer should be okay), including my $20 jug of boozy eggnog. The ferrets are still acting weird - they're both excited and cautious whenever anything out of the ordinary happens.

Yeah - harrumph on the boy.

Given the note form facilities about no power in many places on campus, staying home is probably a good idea. Although doing actual work from home is out as well, unless you were gifted with enough foresight to have downloaded some to bring home.

Oh, love. Leaks in the roof make me more insane than any other home repair; a therapist mused once on whether I'd been a sailor in a previous life, and drowned below decks. All my "stay dry and warm and may it not cost the moon" ~ma is yours for as long as it takes to sort things out.

Oh dear, roof leaks are no fun at all. I thought i had one once, freaked out a little, then had a professional discover that it was just the particular angle of the wind during one unusually bad storm blowing rain in through my otherwise fine roof vents. Hopefully yours will also turn out to not be so awful, and at least you're taking care of it before it gets worse. Was any of your stuff water-damages, or was the leak noticed in a less than spectacular fashion?
