The Hurricane Sandy Chronicles: Epilogue
Oct. 31st, 2012 10:07 amThe sun is making a valiant effort to shine, and it's about 20 degrees colder here than it was when this hurricane caper started. I am looking forward to getting out to check our Post OFfice Box and deliver some documents this afternoon. Roy will be back from Omaha in time for dinner and normal life will resume. With less anxiety about the weather it's easier to concentrate on work and I'm looking forward to a productive day.
The big tubs of water have been emptied and returned to their places. The files that I moved because of worries about The Flying Air Conditioner have been returned to their regular places (most of them). Other things are slowly migrating back to where they usually live -- although the cooler, camp stove, etc., haven't made it out to Anderson House yet.
A piece of disaster prep arrived from Amazon this morning, in good time for the next disaster: an oil lamp with hurricane shade plus two extra chimneys that I plan to put around votive lights to keep them safe from drafts. The lamp oil that I thought I ordered wasn't in the box -- I will have to check the Amazon site to see whether I forgot to order it or it's coming separately.
The weather forecast is offering us warmer weather starting tomorrow. I think the plants can stay in Anderson House one more day.
Many folks in the Northeast and Middle Atlantic have not been as lightly touched by these storms as I have. I am grateful that our neighborhood has largely been spared.
Time to put the orange bulbs in the front candles, to hang the plastic pumpkin over the front stoop light, and to otherwise prepare for the hobgoblins. As far as I know, our mayor has not postponed Halloween.
