Holy Heck, Batman

My parents were just informed by Con-Ed (their power company) today that their electric won't be back anywhere from 1 week to 1 month from now. Yes, you read that right, 1 MONTH. The problem with electric being out is your boiler won't work, which means not only no power but no heat, and then you need to worry about your pipes freezing, it is not a happy thing. Mom said the house is down to 45 now. To be honest, Mom of course has not been staying in the house much but has been staying with me. My Dad finally abandoned the house on Saturday and is staying with his sister. The cats have fur coats and will be OK. I'm glad I can help my Mom out, but if it seriously might be a month this leaves us with a lot to think about because well a month is a looooooong time and I live about 1 hour from my mom's office. The only way to get there is by car since our nearest train doesn't connect to their train line. To make things more fun, we're moving in 2 weeks! Now we're not moving far, our new house is only about 3 miles from our current place, but we still need to get things together.

So for me, I wanted a list so I can help sort through everything..
