There are good reasons why this storm has been dominating the news for days...

There must be a lot of anxiety associated with a hurricane like this headed in your direction, but from the sound of it, I think that you are handling the situation very well, Mari

I will be thinking of you as I watch the news

update : I have a full tank of gas. Hubby has a half tank.

We have enough water. Will fill extra plastic containers later.

We have extra batteries to re-charge phones

We have food and snacks for a week -- could stockpile more but do not want to bother

'Will back up some things to jump drive and put jump drive in the dishwasher -- safest place in the house for valuables because the dishwasher does not move.

Might make one more run to bank for cash and to pharmacy for meds ---
but can manage without doing the pick up at pharmacy.

Hubby and I offered room for one of hubby's buddies and his cat.
Buddy said no thanks. He thinks he knows more than the weather forecasters.

=-=-=-
We are hearing that the aftermath will suck: no power for a long time, although the governor explained how he will get everything back up
and running as soon as possible.

We could have flooding although they are draining the lake and the canals now.



=-=-=-
Not in the mood. SERIOUSLY NEED SLEEP.

HUbby and his buddies went exercising -- walking somewhere -- my
guess is that they went out to lunch afterwards.

Wish the place were cleaner but am not up to deal with cleaning lady and
cannot figure out when I can FIT HER IN AROUND MY MOOD/S.

I am sorry that you are having to worry about all of this.
It sounds like you are well stocked.
I never did ask you how your parents faired in tx?
((((HUGS))))

I'm glad you have a well thought out plan and are well stocked

Thinking of you, Mari

Thinking of you mari.

Hi,

I am o.k. except that this evening and into tonight I feel sick to my stomach.
And my t.v. went out and I think hubby's did too.
Apparently he does not want to call the company and I feel so crappy I am not pushing it until tomorrow.

Re the hurricane: it is still massive in intensity and size.
The track changed slightly in a way that slightly favors us -- but, again, because the darned thing is so huge across, it might not matter where it is.

Re hurricane prep:
Hubby and have mostly everything I planned on getting.
We have plenty of water but I wanted more (stores sold out), so I bought lots of containers/bottles/ thermoses at the dollar store and will wash
them and fill them up with tap water Saturday.

Thank you for this update.
We are worried for you.
sorry your tv's are out, that must be frustrating. At least you have your laptop or do you use a tablet?...we have a PC.
Thank you again.
(((((HUGS and good thoughts for safety.))))
