---To-do list of doom---
- buy massive amounts of alcohol - when Rita hit three years ago, we didn't have enough. it was bad.
- make sure all laundry is done - hand washing jeans is no bueno
- round up the emergency candles and buy more is necessary
- clean fish tank
- do all dishes in preparation of canned food days *sigh*
- call somebody to come mow this freaking lawn because it's scary and i swear there are pygmies
- bleach the hell out of bathtubs and fill with water - very useful for a multitude of things... wait a sec... our hot water is gas, not electric. hell yeah. hot showers at maggie's place as long as the water lines remain good *does a happy dance* - that was actually one of the worst parts of Rita was the whole no hot shower for a week
- ignore #7
- buy at least 14 gallons of water - don't mess with me, i grew up in Florida. i know that it's one gallon of water per day per person
- make sure we have enough canned food for at least 7 days - thank goodness that with Rita not all of the town was without power, may we be that lucky this time too
- round up all of our board games
am i forgetting anything?
