Hurricane shopping....again....

I love this squirrel. He looks like he's about to say what I'm thinking! LOL....I've had it with hurricanes and warnings and everything that goes along with it. I got sick of looking at my porch, so the other day I put all my furniture back, put the decorations back up....and now they say Jeanne is going to be here this weekend. I have no groceries, yet haven't written my list, so I have to do all that crap....not to mention the fact that this is Friday my CLEANING DAY. So, now I have to put that off whilst I shop. I also feel like total crap. My throat doesn't hurt....if I don't swallow....so, I'm downing green tea with mint. I look like crap, feel like crap and the last thing I want to do is shop. But if I wait till tomorrow, I'll be kicking myself. I'll be shopping during "hurricane hysteria". Here's a bit of advice, from me to you...."Do not, under any circumstances whatsoever, move to Florida!"

I took Betsy to the doctor yesterday and got her referral to the urologist. Everything went fine. She has no more pain, but they made her give another "sample" (#4). She told me she never wants to "go in a cup" again! lmao....poor kid. I picked her up at school and the first person I see when I walk into the courtyard is her old boyfriend and his new girlfriend. I ignored the kid and kept on walking. I heard "Mom!" from across the way, and she and her friends were walking toward me. I was thankful she saw me because I had no idea where she was. I didn't get to see the new boyfriend, as he wasn't out at the time. Apparently he is 6'4, and Bets is about a foot and some change shorter than he. Should make for an interesting picture! Senior guy is still calling, but she said they are just friends. Man, I never had that much attention as a teen....

Wee one is giving a speech today. Whomever wants to run for student counsel had to write a 30 second speech, and will give it in front of the class. I had her write down everything sc does, and we made it into a poem. So, she reads it, and at the end she says, "I'm 'wee one', and I approve this message!" I about fell off the bed laughing. If the teachers could vote, she'd win....I'll let you know the results this afternoon....peace out.

Awe, sorry you still feel bad but do get that shopping done. Sorry you are in the way of yet another hurricane. Yes, I don't think I'd like to live in Florida, may be a nice place to visit out of hurricane season but wouldn't want tp live there. Good luck this weekend and stay dry. Hugs Lanny : PS: Wee one has my vote :-)

We're suppose to feel the affects of Jeanne this weekend as well, I'm with you sick and tired of it. Prayers for all of you.
I do hope that you start feeling better soon!
I'm glad that Betsy is doing well again :)
Go wee one go! She'll do great and I love the ending to her speech, too cute!

I hadn't heard from my son in several days, I finally heard from him again and he has informed he is SICK of Florida!  The base is really messed up bad.  They had talked briefly of moving the guys to different bases as it wouldn't be operational for months if not a year.  Now, they are talking about keeping them there.  Of course they aren't doing the air school, they are all cleaning and on hold until things are straightened out again.  Mmmm, he may serve his 4 years being a hurricane clean up guy.  Needless to say, he's not thrilled at the moment!  But, it doesn't sound like he's alone in feeling that way.

I'll keep Florida in my continued prayers.

First of all I hope you don't get hit with another hurricane.  It must be very stressful to be living under these conditions all the time.  I hope you're feeling better soon, and I'm happy to hear that Betsy is doing better.  Wee one sounds like a riot!  Hope she makes student counsel.

I don't know how you cope with all these hurricane warnings....all the boarding up & shopping must be bad enough, as well as worrying in case you are affected!
Hope you feel better soon.
