When it rains....

The entire state is prepping for Hurricane Irma right now. People are freaking out,  leaving the state, but practically camping (in motor homes, no less) just across the state line. They seem to think that the wall that South Georgia built* to keep the snowbirds that fly down for the winter out of Georgia will do nothing to a HURRICANE, despite it being named after a lovely 83 year old grandmother who bakes the most delightful oatmeal raisin cookies on the planet.☆

So I'm driving home this afternoon, against the grain, and thankfully we have bread, milk, canned goods, batteries, water, yadda yadda♡... I feel like we're almost prepared.  I just have to get home.  From work.  Where I'm not successfully getting anything done because... Hurricane and people freaking out. 

 So I'm kind of sitting here, listening to the animal lover of the bunch talking about how she's going to ride around town when it's flooded on an air mattress to rescue dogs that get left behind... she's so dang funny, y'all.  She has a really big heart for animals. I wouldn't doubt if she did do it.

When it all comes down to it, I'm just ready for the weekend to be over and the aftermath to be a known quantity.  Uncertainty drives me up the wall. And this worry about the weather along with the attendant pressure changes is giving me a headache.  I think I'd like to go home, drink a beer▪ or two and just curl up in my bed with a book and my dog. I'm making myself sick with it and need to unplug for a little while. 

Stay safe and ride it out, y'all.  

C.D.

*There is no wall, Georgia loves having people come to spend money. 

☆Delightful as those cookies are, they're still disgusting. What sort of monster puts raisins in a COOKIE?

♡You do not want to know what I had to give up to get hands on the yadda yadda. 

▪Beer, not the junk that most people drink. I'm not a beer snob♤ by any means, but I do enjoy a hoppy beer and don't think that the stuff that is served in $2 from pitchers in college town wing houses is much better than a bottle of water. And don't get me started on gluten free beer. That's just cruel and unusual.
♤Ok ok... footnote to a footnote here. I've been told that I'm a textbook snob and should  "own that shit" so I should edit it... I'm a low level beer snob.... not as bad as those elitists that swear by their local brewpub, but I'm kind of an ass about Natty light,  Miller High Life, Budweiser, Bud Light and the like.  And Corona is only good for being poured out and used as salt and pepper shakers on the table of your local "authentic" Mexican restaurant.
