Some friends came over yesterday and we had a hurricane party which turned out to be just a rainy day party since the hurricane stood us up.

Not that I’m complaining. This is the Florida I grew up in. The weather people would tell us that a hurricane was coming. We would all use it as an excuse to take the day off and get together for a party and wonder why the weather people told us to do all these silly things that we never did. Actually we would all go out and buy tape and bleach as we bought all kinds of junk food and party goods. I’m still not really clear on why we bought all that tape and bleach except we were told to.

Then the last two year’s of hurricanes happened.

Woken up early this morning by a Blue Jay flying around my bedroom that one of my cats caught. After running around my bedroom to catch the little guy and set him free I was too awake to go back to bed.

It is very gusty out today and I was woken up by loud ran a few times but that is about it from this storm. It’s like I’m really happy that we didn’t get hit by a hurricane but at the same time it’s like wait I got all ready for a hurricane and feel cheated.

Still it does look rather bad on radar.

Looking to be a not very nice day out so it’s going to be a day of indoor stuff. I need to call the plumber to see if he is still putting a sink in my neighbor’s place today but I’m guessing that is cancelled as is most stuff today due to the hurricane that didn’t happen. If the plumber isn’t going to do my neighbor today I’m going to call the gym to see if it’s open.

Maybe I’ll have another impromptu storm party this afternoon or something.
