I thought I'd chit chat on here, rather than start a new thread.
Well, Karen knocking at my door, in case ya'll aren't watching the news. Expected to be near land by 7am, from what I've been told, then make a move eastward. I am about to get in uniform and go in to work, so about the time I finish up my work, I might not be able to come home, but its not expected to be too terribly bad.
Today I tried to keep the kids busy, with picking things up. I had a truckload of limestone delevered, because its been a few years since my driveway was tended to properly and there are 2 puddles that are especially loved by the geese and ducks. Ducks....no problem, but the neighbors don't care for it when the geese ventures out in their yard and ends up in their driveway and poop everywhere. Besides they are afraid of my geese.
So I'm not worried about my waterfowl at all, of course. I will be getting the wet side of the storm. I am a bit concerned about my does, but the barn is dry for the time being. I dug 2 labrador size grave/holes in 2 of my stalls and filled them with our clear wine bottles and capped them off with a wheelbarrow of limestone to have a little drainage for the chickens and in the barn in general. I managed to clear some shelf space in my girls room as a result. Those bottles were taking up room. I am only going to save the tinted bottles for wine and herbology.
I so hope the roads are not closed when my shift ends. I don't mind staying, in one way, but prefer to be with my family, unless they offer me a little something extra....which is very likely to happen.....I've made a little hurricane money in my lifetime. DS went to the store to buy cold cuts, bread, milk and such, so I don't have to worry about the family cooking. Daddy is fine and his generator will turn on as soon as the power misses, if it comes to that. He has lots of food.
I'm hoping I don't have to take an alternate route home, but the route I normally take is nothing but trees, so I might get there like that, but might have to come home another way. I dislike change.
Well, time to get white. Might as well bring a hair brush, tooth brush and at least a partial change of clothes, just in case. Take care all and to our Gulf Coast friends....stay safe.
