I am officially stir crazy at this point. Actually went outside and did yard work between the rain bands. And I am off tomorrow. Nice to be able to spend time with my peeps, at least. I will try to get a run in, weather permitting. I have a 5K next Sunday, so a little more practice would be a good thing. I will wait for daylight, to avoid falling debris, however. I do have more freelance I can do (I did six articles today) and some housework I can do ahead. I totally get what you're feeling. The weathermen have been warning us about Dorian for over a week, and the darned thing can't make up it's mind where to go next. If I'm going to get my butt kicked, I'd rather know now, rather than be tormented with long waits. Hang in there, but get out if the part of the state below you get's their butt kicked.

DD and I did the beans today and man did we ever do beans. Ended up with 40 quarts and 17 pints of green beans. We figure that DSIL brought us somewhere between 75-80lbs of beans.

Hello my windy peeps! Windy, rainy and nasty today. Getting some decent gusts and rain bands today, but it should be cleared out by tonight. I did a four-mile run this morning, after daylight broke. Pretty quiet out there, some small branches down, but no serious damage at all. If it clears enough later, we will clean up the yard. I doubt we will even fill up a trash bag. Nothing in town is open, other than a coffee shop and a convenience store. Schools, banks and post offices are closed, no gas left anywhere, no commerce really at all. Beaches are closed (though the surfers seem to be finding their way out there). Good day for housework and freelance. No power outages reported anywhere so far.

Make sure you southern folks use up most of that hurricane. We don't need it up north! Good luck to all who are in the path.

Hi Kids! It was a long day of driving, but we made it to DD's. I really need some sleep, so I'll try to find some time to catch up here tomorrow.

Glad to hear busymom is off the roads and safe. I got the lawn cleaned up late yesterday. Still off work today, which is pretty ridiculous, honestly. Schools still closed, which is also pretty dumb. It's breezy out, but no wind or rain. I have a dr. appt. later today, and will wash and wax my car when I get back from that.

Good Morning Kids! I slept hard last night, maybe because the temps are cooler here, but still woke up fairly early this morning. I checked in with DH, and so far things are o.k. But, they did (finally!) close his work location today. Not happy it took them this long to figure out that maybe being open when a hurricane is moving in, isn't too bright. "> Our closest neighbor has been off work since the weekend. At least his boss has his priorities straight...

I think we should have been back to work today, but hey, I've been using the time to my advantage. Getting a lot of freelance done (and making some money doing it), dusting and vacuuming, laundry and cleaning the bathrooms.

Good Morning Kids! DH says all is well at our house. But, I'll be hanging around here for several more days before heading back. I'm still sleeping a bit better here. Cooler weather.

I'm glad everyone is safe. We are under a tropical storm warning. There may be local flooding. Cooled off to 75*

Be safe ken a.k.a OMK! Dorian seems to still be a strong force. Long day here. My relative went in for surgery, and since I was in town I basically spent much of the day camped out at the hospital.

Good Morning Kids! I'm up too early, & am debating whether or not to go back to bed for a bit. But, I DO have a long list of things I need to accomplish today. Decisions, decisions...

Hooray! Much to my surprise, Colorado peaches are still available here (normally they're long gone by now). I hadn't bought any of the Georgia ones, so tonight I picked some up. They are HUGE this year, and so juicy that they peel very easily. Yum! If they traveled well, I'd bring some back home with me.

Peeps, it was a long week. Two days of work were awful; I posted on the Anonymous Board about it. I am very glad the race season starts tomorrow; I need competition to clear the brain.

I agree NancysSummerSip, that for being a short workweek, it's been a LONG week. My relative is still in the hospital, so we probably won't be heading back for at least a few more days. Then, I've gotta get a move on...

Good Afternoon Kids! We went to visit with some of DH's side of the family today. I need to start planning for the drive back. Like snack foods, since we usually don't stop anywhere for food the first day, we just make sandwiches ahead, and go.

Fall has arrived. We are getting our first serious rain of the fall season and tomorrow is supposed to be even rainier. Work is still kicking my butt big time but hopefully by the end of the month things will ease up, although I found another issue late Friday afternoon that could delay things.

Good Morning Kids! Those little signs of Fall are beginning here, like a few of the trees have leaves turning color at the very top. Have a great Monday! DD took the day off, so although I've got some tasks to get done, we should have a bit of family time, too.

busymom enjoy your time visiting with your DD. Today I left work early and ordered new tires for the car, yikes they are expensive. The car also either got fertilized or limed on the way home. There was a large truck that delivers that type of stuff out to the farms and I have even seem them in the fields and the stuff was just billowing out it. I held back as much as I could but every car on the highway was getting coated in this stuff so I stopped at the car wash on the way home. Car is now nice and shiny and no more weird off white powder coating it.

If I'm not using a blanket, he'll try to crawl under my T-shirt....... and then gets pissed off because there's not enough room.
