Ain't that just like a man!

and his name is IKE!

I don't have to work tomorrow.. but here it is after 1:30 am, and we've barely gotten our house secured!

Looking at the forcasted sustained winds, this is going to be the biggest blow-hard of my lifetime.

I'm not in an evacuation zone... I never had any intention of leaving anyway, and thank God I didn't (don't, and hopefully won't) have to go to the store and fight the crazy people there for non-perishable's and bottled water.

It appears that everyone on our street is "hunkerin' down" to ride this out.

I should actually be trying to catch up on my classwork. I'm behind on one assignment from last week, and have a group project due Sunday night that I'm supposed to edit and post for the group... IF we still have power! That is the one thing I'm dreading more than anything, the loss of power. I can't handle stale, stagnant humid heat, and with a new baby I have no intention of sticking around more than 24 hours without power!

Well I'm going to go try to get a little sleep and get some stuff done early tomorrow. They're expecting the outer bands of rain to come in around 9 or 10 am.




I am currently Detached
I am listening to weather forecasts and evacuation/traffic reports
