So, put all thoughts of the hurricane aside for the moment gal ... if you could rustle up some bacon butties on the barbie or something for us all, that'd be ace!

No, seriously... good luck over there. Keep safe and let us know how you're doing.

It won't be there long....if the reason for giving them female names is true.

Hi

Hurricanes are just like women.

Warm, wet and all over you when they arrive.

They take your house and your car when they leave.

She may well be unable to for a couple of days if the electricity is taken out.

Good job she's not black....it'd be 3 years+ if she were(I'm assuming she isn't)

So it seems this storm is named "Nate". I hope he isn't the irritable and doesn't thow a hard punch.

While I have been wandering around the property this morning looking something akin to "The Return or the Mummy," still wrapped up hip to toe in compression bandages and stockings (now there's a sexy look), I have made good progress in stowing a few important items and clearing the balcony and porches.

The next thing is to get gasoline for the generator, give it a test run, and then waddle to the market for water. I won't be buying food because it's fairly traditional to eat one's way through the fridge and freezer as those contents are typically the first to go with the power outage (though the generator will mitigate that problem). We wil lose power if this is a Cat 1-2, but it will probably be repaired in 2-3 days.

If the storm becomes a Category 3, then I will evacuate with my daughter and dogs, but otherwise, I'll move to the inland house and prepare for a Saturday arrival.

I am among those who find this situation (post surgery + hurricane + recovering daughter) a lot more interesting and challenging (nothing like a good set of problems to solve) than a crisis... that is saved for the people in Caribbean weeks later. Glass half full and all that.....

Thank you all so much!
