The Reality of Being an SMC

As I try to enjoy the luxuries of all of my electrical items (tv, phone, lights, stove/oven, hot water, dishwasher, etc) before the power is sure to go out due to Hurricane Sandy, I've been thinking about what it might be like if this were to occur a year from now.

Would I be okay to be here alone with my baby? Would it feel better to go to my parents' so I wouldn't be alone? I don't know yet what I think, and I'm sure much more will become clear about those kinds of situations as time moves on.

I guess I'm just really starting to reflect on the "single" part of all of this. I've always been perfectly content to live alone, but it's more lonely and worrisome than usual during a potential emergency. This is why I'll move. I would be a basket case if I was here on my own with a baby right now during this storm.

Hopefully the power and generator will hold out. Be safe everyone!
