Nah, still not dead.

Hello, all three of you who read this! Sorry to have been away so long. I just felt un-blogworthy. Sometimes something will come up, and I'll think, I oughta blog that! But it slips away and I just catch up on email, check the news, and watch House. Which is not on tonight. Bummer! This is especially horrible since this may be my last night on earth. Check out this link: http://www.weather.com/maps/news/atlstorm5/gulfofmexicosatellite_large_animated.html
Yes, TS Ernesto is arriving tonight to make our lives somewhat miserable, but not as bad as it could be. Oh, we'll probably lose power for some time, since the local FP&L won't do the proper job of trimming trees and now we lose power when the cat farts. It is extremely humid these days, too. One minute out there, in the dark, and you're ready for another shower. Now on that link: See Lake Okeechobee in the lower third? Go left with your eyes and you'll see a little line, river shaped. No coincidence, that! It's the Caloosahatchee, located a mere 1/4 mile down the street. Hubbys Mom was born, lived, worked and died all within 2 miles of the river. No wonder Hubby doesn't want to move.
So that's what's new with us. Ripped is back home (he has a t-shirt that says, "Somebody call 911! 'Cause I'm Cut!"), still working all day and taking classes at night. His new bio instructor pronounced his name correctly last night, and when he congratulated her, she said "I remember your Mother." Dang! He put her on the phone with me after class and she really does! Said she remembers me because I'm so tall. Go figure. It wasn't my outstanding grades! They weren't.
My sis is here from AL. Staying with my folks in their mobile home throughout the storm. Alrighty then. They should be ok - they made it though cat. 2 Wilma last year. Barely.
Searcher is searching. Driving us nuts. Long, sad story. She signed up for more classes. We'll see how that turns out.
Dreamer and her hubby are well. This is her last year, and she's in the classroom with the little tykes teaching her heart out. They just love her, even though she's 6'2"!
At work, currently I am doing more administrative stuff (can you say, "Gag?") until we are able to open our new location in south of the county. It's going to be a while. I miss my patients!
OK, brain's dry. I'll be sure to write and let you know how the storm pans out. The county is still open tomorrow, which means I have to drive to work at the height of the storm. There is still a chance that they may close after all. Cross your fingers.
Bye!
