Holy shit, I've got my power back!
What a weird, strange week it's been. Some wicked windstorm gusts through the area, tearing down tree branches and knocking out 90% of power in the city, and I spend the next few days cooking and showering by candlelight. You know, being without electricity for 4 days really puts things into perspective. We don't realize how much we rely on it until it's gone. No TV, no internet, no lights. I felt like I was camping inside my own house.
Of course, I had it better off than most: my stove and water heater are gas-powered, so I could still cook (lots of soup) and take hot showers. And this was nothing compared to those poor folks in Texas who got the major brunt of Ike's wrath. This was a minor inconvenience for me. But it is nice to have my power back... I was running out of clean towels.

And yes, those collars are sexy. They also have teeny little buttons that open kinda diagonally across the chest from the neck down so as you undo it the skin under is exposed bit by bit...
In all seriousness though, glad to hear that your power is back.
