10/1 =Class assignment to keep a log during the hurricane for
four days =I will start today. After class Bette, and I went to Tonio’s for pizza and I moaned
about not losing weight as the mark of a really
good pizza (grease) ran down my chin. We laughed. I was
tired and did
not stop at the Acme on the way home.
I need to call and arrange for
my window air conditioners to
be removed because I am cold today. I turned
on the heat in my bathroom and living
room –just a little. It is raining.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2ND UPDATE: COASTAL
FLOOD WARNING EXTENDED THROUGH SUNDAY, JOAQUIN NO LONGER A PRIMARY CONCERN
10/2 Friday –I am working on my computer trying to figure out what button I pushed to turn off my wireless connection. I feel so dumb. –I could call my brother in law, but he told me last time not to touch any button I do not understand. All the buttons have symbols that represent functions that are universally known to everyone but me. My other computer is at the "Doctors" and will be ready to pick up after 3:30 pm. I do not want to go out in my sleep clothes, so I need to get dressed. “Dr.” Joe just got home from work and had my computer ready. He said I could have called him; Wireless is the F2 function key at the same time as the FN key. I should have called him hours ago. I asked Joe if he worked on Apple computers –not really, sorry Joan. Saw 3-year-old Joseph and his Mother. Amanda co-owns The Madd Potter in Cape May and gives me potting lessons in her home. I met her at the Avalon Library craft workshop. She says I have three more classes. Bought and paid for. Yeah, I want to make jewelry and Christmas Robins. They were in their rainy day clothes and playing with Playdough waiting for daddy Joe to get home. On my way home, I stopped at the Acme for some chocolate milk hurricane tradition and the WaWa for gas. I am officially soaked, time for jammies and call my Parents and then Joan. Phone calls from a couple of friends checking on me. I love the sound of the wind in my trees, but not the sound of rain dripping from my roof.
10/3 –Slept with a window cracked and heard the weather all night. Slept warm and well under a blanket and quilt with the cool air even my pillows were cold. I did not want to get up but the later I slept the worse the dreams got. Thinking of high school friends today who are burying one of our classmates, my heart matches the weather. More calls from friends and Facebook messages. Call from a computer scammer who said my computer was infected. I asked if this was a scam? He said YES, I was completely silent, then he must have realized what he said and hung up. I laughed for the first time today. I am reading and watching TV westerns and feeling guilty for not cleaning. This guilt will pass soon, I hope. Where is all the water from this rain going?
10/4 –windy and drops of rain are coming from my roof –BUT I think I see the sun and blue skies and lots of white clouds. I walk down to my mailbox to get yesterday’s mail. It is so beautiful and windy out. Diane called and wanted me to call the radio station for her psychic show –set my alarm, so I don’t forget. Oh no, now it is Cloudy again. Diane gets a couple of calls for her half hour show. I am on my computer, bored, not writing but ordering online! This is a dangerous storm and is costing me money. I have got to stop, I just ordered a wig ! Talking with John, he is home and doing his travel report, singing to himself and me, I guess, and yelling at me to get my health under control. He likes to multi-task. I keep telling him he talks faster than I think, these days. I need to make a meatloaf and pick the rotisserie chicken. He is making tomato gravy. Madam Secretary was wonderful tonight.
10/5 Sunny and breezy –the storm is over, and the temperature is rising, It is time to open the house turn down the heat and start another week.
