Sandy is creeping up on us.
It's been gloomy all day. The temperature has been slowly dropping and I haven't seen the sun for a while now. There's been no rain, yet. The wind is still waiting in the wings, too. Bands of rain have already hit where Carrie's parents and her brother's family live, but we're in the clear here (for now). The Redskins lost, but if all their losses were bad omens DC would've sunk below sea level by now.
I do know that school's been cancelled for the next two days. I thought they would wait to make an announcement. Perhaps they wanted to put people at ease? Regardless, I'm going to be home the next couple of days for some predicted heavy weather. The state park Carrie works at is closed until Wednesday.
There's not much more to do now other than sit and see. I'm not as worried about the storm as I'm worried about Shane being ornery for the next several days. He doesn't understand it when he's forbidden to go out in a normal rainstorm much less the fringe of a hurricane. If the power goes out, there will be no Thomas the Train to mollify him! Ha ha! I'm laughing now, but it won't be funny if it does happen.
I'm sure we will weather through this. It's a big enough event I wanted to post something! Hang in there, East Coast.
