I went down to my parent's place last night because some relatives were in town and everyone was going to be getting together for dinner today. Unfortunately, I completely spaced on the fact that the electric company was going to be doing maintenance and they were going to be cutting the power once or twice last night. I discovered this morning that none of my machines were online, something that made me a little worried.
I excused myself from things a little bit early so I could slip back home and make sure that there was nothing extremely bad. I had images of my apartment having been broken into the reason I couldn't get to any of my machines was because they weren't there. In the end it turns out that one of them was just off, and the other needed me to run fsck on a partition. Phew.
So I'm back now, the visit was good, though stressful. My parents are great, the provide a ton of support for me as I'm going through some difficult times, even if I'm a bit to bull-headed to ask for help. I really am glad they are there for me.
