VACATION!!!

 

          WOOOHOOO!!!!! I made it to vacation :) I am so happy LOL the past few months were tiring, and the last eight days were awful, but I made it. Twenty-one glorious days off of work. Nothing responsible, only stuff I want to do.

          LOL that does include cleaning. I have been wanting to get a few projects done, but couldn't just yet. Hurricane Milton put a damper on things. My home was fine though, no damage. Lots of rain, so when the backyard is dry, I will mow one last time for the season and call it done LOL at least hope to. Today I am going to mow the front so I can decorate for Halloween. I am sure the neighbors are wondering what's wrong with me since we have usually decorated by now LOL stupid hurricane. This year's theme is spiders LOL. Okay, no sitting for long, I have stuff to do so that I can fully relax and properly enjoy doing nothing LOL

Here Comes the Hurricane

 

          Well, I am no longer confused by the weather. I woke up to dreary and raining. It definitely looks nasty out there now. I need to get my plants inside the garage today and then we are as prepped as can be. Weather report says Hurricane Milton should hit my area tonight around midnight as category 1 which is much better than the category 4 that Tampa is going to get hit with. It is going to be devastating to some people. Lee and I are both home with Staci and all our pets. No work for either of us until after the storm passes. I just pray we stay safe as do all of those around us.

So Confused Now With the Weather

 

          Yesterday was all drizzling rain, no sunshine, lots of wind, it seemed as if a hurricane was coming. There was a sense of urgency to get everything done before the storm hit. Today I wake up to sunshine and perfect weather ???? I am so confused. I almost thought the hurricane had fizzled or that I had imagined it LOL I guess it weakened a bit overnight. Now due to get to us on Thursday, which does not work for me as I work that night. I need to be off for the hurricane, not working. Milton needs to get its act together.

Moods Matter

 

          Ok, current mood is anxious. I have done all I can to prep my home for the hurricane. I still am wondering if I need more water or canned goods. They are enacting the hurricane teams at the hospital. I am on Team B so I do not go in during the storm, I go in afterwards. I am thankful that Lee also will be off so we will all be safe inside together.

          Once storm is passed, and yards dried up LOL then I will go back into holiday mode. It will be time for my vacation then as well. Ten days to go :)

Milton???

 

          Well poodle dump. It looks like we are not going to get out of hurricane season unscathed. It is projected to hit us Wednesday. So, my kids and I are trying to get as prepared as possible. Thankfully none of us work Wednesday night so I can watch the storm. I really hope that by the time it reaches Central Florida it has chilled out and moves through quickly.

          Prep for us means bringing all of our yard decor into either back enclosed patio or the garage. Thankfully we had not put up any Halloween decorations yet. My neighbors had LOL now they have to take everything down. Told my kids, any decorations that end up in my yard, I am keeping LOL.

Morning Routine

 

          It is a bit funny writing about my morning routine in the early evening LOL I do have one though. I like to wake up early, often before dawn. I get dressed then I will try and get at least half of my daily steps in walking about my living room. I tidy up, put away dishes, make my to do list, all while my coffee is brewing. Also I take my medication and my vitamins. Once I sit at my computer I like to get school out of the way. I can easily check the weather by asking my Alexa. This is also the time when I normally try and type in a blog LOL. After all my responsible stuff is done, then I get breakfast and watch a bit of whatever show I am binging. Then nap time LOL feeling guilt free because I already got a lot accomplished.

Hello October!!!

          It's October!!! Finally I can decorate and dress for spooky season without funny stares LOL The official start of holiday season. Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas to the New Year. Boom boom boom. By January I am ready for a break, but until then it is time for fun.

          Today's fun is finding the outdoor decor and hopefully getting some up and baking oatmeal cookies.
