Good thing Fridays are my rest days. I spent about 4 hours sitting in my car waiting. 1/2 hour waiting in line for gas, 1/2 hour waiting in line to get into the park, and 3 hours waiting in line in the park. No, I’m not talking about DisneyWorld! It’s hurricane season!
We have our first storm about to hit Florida, and we didn’t prepare early again. Every year we say we will, but we always forget something. We have tons of water & canned food, propane for the generator, but didn’t fill up the gas tank early in the week. In all fairness, I didn’t get paid until today, so didn’t have the money for it, but I could have asked my boss for a gas money advance. Next time. Also, we didn’t get sandbags like we were going to do. The city gives away sandbags at a local park, & I spent forever waiting only to find that they provided sandbags, and sand, but we had to put them together. At least they provided shovels. I ended up getting a workout, because I filled 4 of my sandbags myself, & a kind soul gave me one they had filled. I filled my first one without thinking about carrying it, then moved it so I could start another. The rest were NOT as full, since I couldn’t pick it up, only drag it around. Another kind soul carried all my bags to my car!
Strange as it seems with all that, I feel calm. Weird
