Sep 06, 2004 22:02

ok so i'm now completely over hurricanes at the moment. i've spent the past four days in this house and i think another will cause serious cabin fever. and when i say i've been in this house i mean it. i left school on wednesday because there is something seriously wrong with me and i realy need to know what it is. i stopped in gainsville beacuse of the rain and my lightheadedness and stayed the night at shane's apartment. it was really good to see him again so i may have to stop by there more often. unfortunately i had to leave at 7 in the morning to get back to orlando for my appointment. there was the pressing matter of hurricane frances looming on the state and my aunt viv arrived at 7 in the evening. on friday and we prepared the house for the storm by boarding up the windows and throwing the patio furniture into the pool. then we sat around and waited, and waited, and waited. this freaking thing was so slow i wanted to go to the beach and yell at it to hurry up. then it stopped. and finally it passed over. taking about a day and a half to totally blow over with the heavy wind and rain. saturday night was kinda freaky and sunday was real boring considering that there was only rain and wind to look at outside. we lost our power at one thirty but luckily the parents go tsmart this time and got a generator. so yeay!! we could watch the news and have a light. last night it calmed down a lot so we went outside and assesed somedamage and then watched finding nemo. i love that movie. throughout the storm i think we played every game we could think of and then thought up some of our own crazy things to do. my aunt and i send a letter via email to my sis, we had my aunt give a very animated news broadcast from our driveway while dressed in proper newscaster-in-the-storm attire, and then today we had some fun makeing clothes with my dad's old ties. we're a creative bunch. tomorrow i'm getting out of the house even if it's just going to the store. now hurricane ivan has begun and i don't think that after charley three weeks ago and frances this weekend i can deal with another storm at the moment. so let's just hope that the bastard ivan dosen't hit florida next weekend or poor heather might drive herself nuts, again. well i think i'm going to go and try and get some sleep because i haven't been sleeping well again and i really need to try and get thaat fixed. night all.
