And ya, I was too paranoid to run my generator in my garage when my power went out. I left it on my deck out back and ran the cord through my kitchen window.

dude I still have nightmares thinking about what happened to you. The fact that I don't already have a proper generator after reading your story... ugh. I practically deserved that power outage for my own stupidity. I tried to sleep on the couch because my car has an electronic key and won't allow itself to be locked from the outside if the key isn't in it and the car is running, so I basically had my car running unlocked, perfectly accessible to anyone who walked by in the middle of the night. Hence the not getting any sleep until after the power was back on and I had put everything away and locked it all back up. Not something I really want to ever do again.
