As ready as we are going to get…

Irene is heading in.  For the moment, we have power.  Not sure how long that will last.

Jones had a bleed at the tonsil removal site this morning, so he and I got to spend a few hours at the hospital.  They ended up putting him under and cauterizing the bleeding spots.  Nothing like being stressed about a hurricane while your child is in surgery.  Thankfully, it went well, we got home before the rain really picked up, and he seems to be feeling better than he did before the surgery.  Fingers crossed that we are headed for healing now.

In between trips to the doctor’s office yesterday and the hospital today, I’ve been in mad hurricane prep…

Garage packed with EVERYTHING from outside

My poor bare patio

Cooking water

Flushing water (more in the full upstairs tub)

Drinking water – we filled every bottle in the house, including the small ones from my fuel belt LOL

OK, lights are flickering, so I’m gonna go blow up the beds in the basement so we can sleep tonight. See you on the flip side…
