A Long Day...

I was up before sunrise, thanks to the cat who is now sleeping soundly. I took the garbage out, changed his box, went online and then gradually began falling asleep and made my way back to bed, only arising to his pleading meows at 1 PM. I'm not sure he wanted anything other than to know I was still on the best end of breathing. He's a funny old thing.

It is overcast today and so far, no more rain. I give it another two hours the way the heat and humidity are building. It is 89 F or 32 C, depending upon where you live, and I am dreaming of winter, sipping tea and preparing to write offline. I am grateful that Erika has gone, but we still have three more very active months of tropical depressions, storms and possible hurricanes to contend with. I grew up with tremors and mudslides. While they were not a picnic, I think I prefer them.

Some of you seem to think the cat is the culprit in my alternating episodes of sleeplessness and exhaustion. He is merely reacting to me...

Until Next Time...

Storm Watch...

It appears Florida is still in the path of Erika, so I'll be buying extra canned goods, water, batteries and other things when I hit the grocery on Saturday. While it may veer, if it does hit South, we will likely get rain which often leads to flooding and the shortage of electricity in places. I hope that's the worst of it. Hurricane season does not end until the end of November. Presently it is a bit overcast, as in the photo below which looks darker than it was. Rain is forecast. Big surprise.

Stay dry and be well...
