Winding down
Well, it is just about 10:45pm EDT and Sandy is winding down. Wind gusts still about 60 mph but not constant. Just pray we keep power overnight. Over 500,000 in the state now out of it. Utilities can not do much until winds are below 40 mph.
Most of the Eastern Seaboard is affected - 1000 miles. She is quite a storm. Snow now in West Virginia. It will be interesting to talk tomorrow night in Chat to Mike. And of course HostSally and Bob in Massachusetts. Nancy and Colleen are in Long Island. I just pray they are safe and look forward to hearing if they made their cruise!
It has been a crazy week. Brother John had emergency surgery on Friday and he lives on the beach in Milford. Said he was going to his friend's house, but she lives even closer to the beach. They are all comfortable in family homes not evacuated. Brittany and Izabella are at Britt's Mom's in Milford, further from the shore. Mary Beth in New Hampshire is experiencing their worst right now. But they are on a mountain, so only fear is power outtage.
You all know I am organized, but this past week was horrid without Hurricane prep. I had caregivers on board for extra hours to accomodate work, but fitting in Hurricane prep along with normal errands was exhausting. We partied last weekend with the family in and sure paid the price for that. I am so thankful for all the work in the yard that we had done after Irene and for the work the Utilities did all summer after the Irene fiasco. I know there is a mess on the deck - am leaving the outside lights off so not to angst and two limbs against neighbor's fence, but if that is it - we did great!
I will blog as to the issue of Bruce's contractures at a later time. I will need a lot of help there and fortunately Jaime has already added some insight. Kira and I are off to bed. She has had a very traumatic day and wants to know what that 6 lb chicken in the fridge is doing! Debbie
