Well, THAT was special!

A little after 2000hrs,
kshandra came home from Woo-Con to give me my evening shot (yeah, back on that, but only three doses) and decide if she was staying home or going back out. Not five minutes after she walked in the door, our power went out.
Not good on a couple of levels. While we do have a really nice Maglite (one of the big six cell monsters) the batteries haven't been changed in some time. Then there's my oxygen. While I'm at home, I'm hooked to a condenser that runs 24/7. That died. We needed to hook me up to the big-ass emergency tank. Finally, we don't yet have an operational furnace. I've been getting by with a space heater and many blankets. I lost my space heater.
Had she not been home, I would have been stumbling around in pitch blackness trying to find the flashlight, then trying to unhook and rehook my airline, all while coughing, gasping, and shivering to quite literal death.
As it was, she was here, and everything went well. She even managed to give me my shot by the flashlight's fading glow. Power just came back on, total time off was a little under 90 minutes.
Let's not do that again, OK?
