The wrath of Sandy swept down upon us last night. My mom and my brothers don't have any power of cellphone reception or internet or ANYTHING in the suburbs. But my dad and I are fairly unscathed here-- it's still rainy and billowy outside but the SUN is out so I take that as a good sign. Public transit is still down and I'm having some anxiety about getting to work but other than that, things are fine. My mom drove over to another town to get reception on her phone to call everyone she needs to AND STUFF. My grandmother had a down tree in her yard, but it didn't fall on anyone and it didn't fall on the house. YIPPEE DOO.

Now back to surviving my fast.
