Morning all..................been extremely hot and humid here in Alachua County and surrounding for weeks, dew points to 103-105 in afternoons...........................now, we will be visited by Hurricane Idalia sometime in the next 12-24 hours - schools closed today and tomorrow and government offices. I am ready, have plenty of food and a natural gas Generac generator to keep my house cooled, fridge and freezer running and lights on..............now if the windows and roof hold, should be OK.
Me and the 2 cats will hunker down and wait it out.............If I missed any birthdays, Happy Birthday.........have kinda been in a funky haze for a couple of weeks, niggling medical stuff and the heat is just awful............be so glad to see fall temps.
Sister and I looking forward to our cruise in October, will spend Halloween at sea and am so looking forward to getting away...it's been over 3 yrs. since we have been together except for FACETIME daily -(that has been a blessing). Am a bit worried about cats being here for 12 days alone 24/7 but daughter and SIL will come feed them daily.... but Punkin will definitely miss me letting him in and out onto the screened back porch through the day.... Sweet Pea is just content to stay in the A/C and nap off and on.... hope they don't freak while I am gone. Used to board my pets, but prices now prohibitive. ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a doctor appt. in a bit so will close.............please keep all those in the hurricane cone in your thoughts............hope it doesn't become a real nightmare..............
