Run from the water, Hide from the wind

That's the advice for hurricanes. We are currently getting geared up to hide from the wind since we don't live in a flooding area. Andy's stowing crap in the garage, and I'm doing my part by, um, keeping a record of it in cyberspace.

Hurricane Ike is headed for us. I guess it's a testament to always having lived here that I'm not too concerned. I'll go to my mom's house for the duration of the storm b/c company during a power outage is a must. And the kids won't get as scared there. And they have more games than we have. And probably better food. Ooh, I should go early and bake so we have lots of goodies while the power is out!

Things here, in my head, are getting better. Even though I just started Lamictal, it seems to be helping already. It makes me SUPER nervous, though, so I refilled another drug that she gave me that counters that. Which is good, b/c I thought I had a bug my stomach was so upset. I even had my mom come stay with me for a day. Alas, if it were a bug it would be gone by now.

Ok, that's it. I'm getting more and more boring as time goes on. You poor people. Please, stop reading at any time. I won't be offended. :)

Your mom's house sounds like so much fun. I almost wish I was there (except for the whole hurricane thing). I'm so glad you are making your way back. I hope you continue to feel even better.
