Ike is on his way. S and I didn't go on a freak-out panic shopping spree like most people. I did break down and get some water and D batteries for my boombox radio (so I can listen to the news and CD's when--not if--the power goes out), also some Snickers bars, pita and hummus. But that's pretty much it. We already have plenty of other snacks in the pantry and didn't see the need to buy out the grocery store like other people are attempting to do.
Now we're sitting around the house glad to be off the streets b/c earlier when we went out people were well-behaved but still in panic mode--and we're not even in one of the evacuation areas! The worst will be (hopefully) just being without power. I have my books but I don't know how S will amuse himself with no wrestling to watch! He says he can do kung fu in the dark.
Other than that, I'm making lots of ice in the freezer, my 2 cop flashlights are being charged up, the cell is charged, and the 2 laptops will be fully charged too. Then begins the waiting!
I'm just really disappointed I didn't get to see a baby being borned last night. My cousin was in the hospital for 3 days until last night when they finally decided to break down and do a C-section. Crap! She had told me I could watch the baby being borned but that c-section ruined all my plans b/c they don't let anyone except the dad watch that. I went to the hospital 2 evenings in a row to get my chance and it never happened. I enjoyed turning on the huge spotlights they have in the birthing room and flipped them one last time before they wheeled her off to the c-section room and we had to leave the area. What a gyp!
Still--it is GREAT to have the day off from work. They actually shut us down last night at 5. I passed out last night around 10pm and got almost 10 hours of much-needed sleep.
