Fronkenstorm

Yeah, even though I'm way inland, Hurrican Sandy is coming my way, and thus Charlie is off school, my hsuband is off work, and my temp job office is closed now (though I went in this morning.)

It's slightly ironic, I think, that I was working on something that had to do with Hurricane Katrina while a hurricane is heading my way.

I downloaded a book on my PC kindle yesterday called Alice in Zombieland. It's a YA, and it is really good so far. While I was at work I had this silly thought that ran 'boy if I get killed going home, I won't get to finish that book.' and then I wondered if there are any ghosts hanging about simply because they were in the middle of a really good book when they died.

So far I think my parents are still doing okay, although they are near the Jersey coast (South) so I am a bit worried.

Good luck to everyone on the eas coast. I do hope no one has to deal with anything too disasterous.

I did so much storm prep Friday and yesterday and it's paid off because while we are getting pounded by rain, I am able to watch Top Gear with a cup of tea and a dog on either side of me, with peace of mind. I was supposed to work today and I got a call about an hour before my shift that we're closed.

Up here in Western MA we've had scattered power outages, but nothing concentrated - all the universities are re-opening tomorrow and buses will run, so back to work for me. Compared to the snowstorm last year, this has been pretty cruisy. Husband's stuck at home, though - right now he works part of the week out of southwestern Connecticut, and I doubt he'll be able to go down at all this week.
