I started drafting a post on Friday:
On the one hand, I can't wait to stop working and be on vacation, and it's taking forever to get there.
On the other, wait, I need to be packed and ready to go by when?
Right where I always am, in other words.
I have started to stalk the weather in upstate NY. I know that more then a few days out, it's not completely reliable, but it will give me an idea. As of midday Friday, this is what it says:
And right now, that idea is yes, pack your winter coat, Florida girl. Brrr!

And now it's Saturday, and I'm looking at this:
Milton, currently a tropical storm but forecast to quickly become a hurricane, is looking very likely to hit us here in Florida on Wednesday. It's starting to look like I won't be flying to NY on Thursday, isn't it?
Happy birthday to me.
Shit, man. Just, shit.
Shit!!
ReplyDeleteI just read about this on another Florida blog. I'm so sorry. This has been such a relentless hurricane season already!
ReplyDeleteIt was a quiet season for a while, but not lately! I'm really ready for it to be over.
DeleteOh come ON! I will just hope that this is completely wrong and everything goes well for you. If not, I will be sweary and indignant on your behalf.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate the support and company in my own state of sweary indignation.
