In an odd way when everyone is without power its really not that bad. Everyone is more nice to each other. Its when the power starts to come back when it sucks. Mostly it sucks when the people across the street get power back days before you. That person retreats back to AC and normalcy while the one without tends to develop resentments and feels more miserable.
The things you miss are the things you never thought you would miss. Well outside the obvious like AC and TV and the internet. I hate cleaning, like vacuuming and laundry. But damn if that wasn't the first things I did when power came back. I wasn't looking at tv or logging on the DU, okay yeah I did just sit and enjoyed the AC but then I did laundry while I vacuumed. Crazy!
