Hunkering down

This post was begun the evening of Friday, September 12. Power went out before I could finish and publish.

So here we are. The wind has picked up and the sky is very overcast.



The wind is picking up significantly. The clouds are moving at an eerie pace. It's howling, actually. We've made all the preparations that we can/can think of. We've got a stocked pantry,



water,



flashlights galore.



72-hour kits are at the ready and in my anxiety driven state, I made cookies (priorities!) I had to do something, and nothing says comfort to me like homemade chocolate chip cookies...



Everything that we may possibly need to be charged is being charged. Now we wait. This is the part that is bugging me. The news has completely gone berserk and is so excited for themselves it is hard to watch. They have been doing continuous coverage for the last almost 72 hours it seem, bless their hearts. We're hunkering down.

I'll admit it. I'm a bit nervous. I'm totally a tough chick, but this is a little nerve wracking. At this point, I can say for sure: I'd still take a hurricane over an earthquake any day. At least you know it's coming and can make preparations. But, like I said, I'm a little nervous, so ask me again in about 8 to 12 hours. I may need to reassess.

As for now: Game on!
