Coping skills.
I can cope with daily pain. I can cope with the ripple effect of a layoff and how long it takes to get things pulled back together. I can cope with stress, and making do, and a house that is perennially under construction. I can deal with losing two outlets in the kitchen. I know that things tend to fall by the wayside and needs must, and we work around little inconveniences.
I cannot, however, cope with losing an entire wall of power. I now have a single outlet in the vicinity of the kitchen, and the dishwasher and disposal are also kaput. Clearly there is some issue in the wiring. I have six kids today and eight tomorrow, plus orientation tonight at school and class starts Wednesday. We simply cannot afford a thousand dollars to an electrician right now.
I have reached a point where I am going to snap if all this power doesn't come back on RFN.
