I don't think I like Ike
Well, I woke up to a phone call from the city that said we are going to take a direct hit from Ike. It's suppose to come in as a Category 2. That's a piece of cake. It's just going to be a bad storm and being from up north, I'm used to tornadoes, so I know how to prepare for those. Comet and I may end up in the bathtub with a mattress over us or on top of the table. Texas City has assured us this whole time that we did not, repeat did not have to evacuate. Now they call and say oops. It's too late now to evacuate, so we'll just hanker down. I think that I send a storm surge photos to my loved ones so that they can track what my neighborhood will look like during a surge of certain levels. I don't care as long as I can use my computer but when not if but when we lose power, I'll be off the air for a while.This will all be over in about 10 hours starting at about 1 am tonight. It is suppose to start storming today and then it will hit in the middle of the night. So I figure that I'll sleep through most of it. I talked with the Emergency Management Service here first thing this morning and they have no plans for shelters. But they are ready to go as soon as the storm is over. But if you hear a big boom, that will be the chemical plants blowing up again. I feel bad for Galveston, because they will literally be completely under water. They are going to disappear off the map. So the bottom line is I'm going to hanker down and be happy that I have a home to be in and that I feel your prayers and I appreciate it. As long as I have power I keep everyone informed as to how Comet, Happy and I are doing. Love to all. Somebody post something today here, just to let me know good things are going on in the world. It would mean a lot to hear good news over the next couple of days. I want to see how many people are reading this blog. If you are out there, please of all times, leave a comment of some sort just so that I know that Happy is still making his rounds. There are people all over the country reading this, so it would really help if you would leave a comment and let me know if Happy reached you!!!
I've been thinking of you and wondering if you're ok. Please check in as soon as you can... I know it may take a while for the electricity to be on again where you are.
Love and Prayers!
I could not keep my eyes or ears off the weather channel. I just KNEW you were going to flood and have to live on the bed with Comet eating peanut butter for days. Then you said, if need be, you would push a foam mattress in the attic to stay dry. ARE YOU NUTS? How do you expect to push a mattress UP into an attic? You're in a wheelchair, bozo...But guess what, you made it and I am so glad. However, when you told me you would climb out onto the roof, I just knew you had lost your mind. If I remember your house, there are not any windows from the attic. And then I wondered if you would remember to take an ax along with the mattress to the attic. Then our brother told me he told you to write your SS# on your body so your relatives could be notified. You caused me to lose sleep and you know I get 8 hours a night. So because of you, and all the traveling we're done in the last 4 weekends, I had to take a nap today. I can't believe you are the cause of that!!! Don't you ever do that to me again, Do You Hear ME????????
Now, you can recover from the biopsy and the pneumonia and the stress of another hurricane. Rest well, lil' sista. Love, Kathy
