Hanna...the little storm that tried.
So all week long it's been "Hurricane Hanna is coming! Hurricane Hanna is coming!" Batten down the hatches and tie down anything that could fly away. We tracked the storm frequently and made plans and adjusted plans and plan plan plan for this huge storm. Hanna could be a Category 1 when she hits us! Hanna could be a Tropical Storm when she hits us! Will they cancel work for us? Who knows! They don't even know at 6 pm the previous evening.
Apparently at 2 am they made the official decision (I bet they all wished the had just made the call earlier and gotten a full night's sleep, anyway.) And hoorah! Hurricane Hanna gave me the day off!
And whoo boy, it sure was necessary. The dreaded tropical storm amounted to a day of steady (But not overly heavy) rain and a stiffer than normal (but really not bad) breeze. Yeah, it was pretty much just a rainy day. Which is really good I guess...free day off, never lost power, no damage other than the flattening of my front weeds.
I got some schoolwork done (all but Accounting because I just can't bear it.) Chatted with some folks online. Broke it to my dad that I got a new car. Watched movies. All in all a very nice day.
REckon I'll go into work tomorrow (although I was scheduled to be off) so that I can make up for the lost day today. Think I'll still sleep late and go in at 10ish.
I have a dentist appointment monday morning that will make me late for work too. But at least I can get the annoying cavity filled again. And then I'm not going back to Dr. English again, for real. And I'm giving up on Starbridge dental too and going for the Anthem.
Thanks for reading!
