Thanks for joining me Over Coffee
A writer by passion and profession, I've been writing since I was old enough to know how, so establishing a weblog
seemed a natural progression. By adding a blog to my site, I can speak about my passions and life, share my writing, art
and photos, and comment on current events.

Thar She Blows Apparently we're having a hurricane and not the fun kind. So...I've got tomorrow off. Ordinarily, we'd be talking a woohoo moment (for the day off--not the hurricane), but since I have a ton of work to do, not so much. And I'll be doing some of it from home anyway, so it isn't exactly a free day.
Besides the fact that everything in the area is closing--and I do mean EVERYTHING (except my husband's office), everyone is getting into the Hurricane Warning and Preparedness act, including our apartment management company. A list of warnings was tucked into our door handle. They read as follows:
Please remove all items from your front door, patio area, breezeways, hallways and walkways. (If a neighbor is aways, tell the management, and we will remove items.
Make sure you have an adequate supply of canned goods, bottled water and batteries.
Stay tuned to area weather updates. [Really?]
Please do not use the pool areas, tennis courts, racquetball courts, laundry rooms, etc., at this time.
If you have a vehicle in the boat parking area, please make sure that the cover is secured or removed.
Make necessary accommodations for any pets.
Now, it is warning/rule 4 that got me giggling. Soooooo...you're saying that I can't play tennis during a hurricane? Damn! My afternoon is shot now.
