[ hurricane! ~ part 2 ]

sooooooo... the guy mended our hot water this morning ~ yay!!! so i'm pleased to reported we have all had showers or baths today & smell lovely!!!

my husband, mike, & i spent all morning hurricane proofing the house... moving all the stuff in the garden ~ the more we looked the more there was ~ like old fence that could be blown over, toys, the hammock, garbage & recycling cans, the porch swing blah blah blah... then we filled sand bags & put them down the side of house that has a river when it rains. put everything higher in the basement & garage then shut the door & put sand bags in front of the garage.

i went to the farm to pick up our veggies around 1pm & it started raining (not hard) around 2pm & it hasn't stopped...

mike & i are pooped... we both feel like our knuckles should be dragging on the ground...

we were invited to my fabulous friend's hurricane party & a great time was had by all (you guys rock!!)

parked the cars in the car park (car lot) down the street as there are mature trees all around our house...

got home & i'm sooooooo disappointed because it's not even raining hard & our basement is wet... & water is coming in under our garage door ~ even though we put the sand bags there... all that work :(

but so far we still have power (so have run dish washer & and am on second load of washing!!!)

all pets are inside... james brown (our siamese) is stir crazy already & just wants to go out

lets see what tomorrow brings...
