Emergency Plans

It is supposed to sleet and snow here beginning on Friday and maybe last through the entire weekend.
One of my mother's former weaknesses was planning ahead. She never drove a car, but it used to drive everyone around her crazy when she would forget something at a store we had just been to the day before.
I say a former weakness because later in life when she began working as a cashier, she became much more attuned to everyone else's busy schedules. Now I ask her to give me her grocery list, check for groceries and scratch off tickets on Monday. I also have her call in her prescriptions at the beginning of the week so they're ready anytime I have a moment to run to the store or pick up the drugs.
She still sometimes forgets to give everything to me and I forget to get it and it's hard for me not to get annoyed when I think I have so much more on my mind.
But then I do know that she doesn't intentionally forget.
I did gather all the stuff I needed last night and as we were discussing the impending storm, I told her we might have to bring her to our house for a few days. Her building's electric is still powered by lines above ground and they have no generator to continue electric service if the power goes out. She not only needs her oxygen, but heat to stay warm.
So, this week, I asked her to make another list of everything she would need in case the winter storm punches us a direct hit.
It's always good to have a plan.
