I have the upcoming week off from work ... just in time for the Hurricane. Oh well, my only hope is that electricity does not go off at the house & I can get my To-Do list taken care of.
If the electricity DOES go out, then I am prepared to be a bit bored 
We are going to be getting more of this storm in my area than I remember having of a hurricane. Flooding and winds are the primary issue.
Of course, everyone around here is panicking. This state is NOT organized at all. Schools have closed already for Monday & Tuesday.
In preperation, I bought some canned goods, snacks, salad stuff - all of which can be consumed without electricity. I did not buy water, but filled my BPA free/aluminum water bottles as well as 3 pitchers (1 water, 1 lemonade, and 1 cherry limeade). I should note that I have a LOT of water bottles
I did all the dishes & laundry, have plenty of cat food & litter. Pulled the trashcans up to the house (townhouse, no garage). I covered the basement windows with their covering and am leaving stones on top to secure them.
I will fill the bathtub with water for cleaning, ect. I have a flashlight, many candles & lighters.
I am charging my computer, my cell phone, my mp3 and my kindle. I have books, puzzles, soduku and a list of to-dos that can be completed in the light of day
wishing everyone a safe week!
Preparing for Sandy - great start to my Staycation
