Oops. Walking up 29 floors in a pitch dark stairwell, with no flashlight, with bags of emergency supplies is proboably one of the braver things I have done this year! It was so crazy, I had to call Mig in San fran to get the news on what the hell had happened to us cause there was no other way to find out! We were even considering driving to Montreal last night just to get somwhere with power... (all of ontario from Ottawa to Windsor was down!). Instead my husband and I decided tyo stik it out and played a board game called 'Zombies' by candlelight and ate Pringles. Anyway, today I get the pleasant task of throwing out everything in my fridge. Thank god it's over! And I can flush my toilet now, woohoo!
