We are preparing for the incoming hurricane right now here in Florida, just like the rest of the state which is in a state of an emergency. The wind has been picking up, it’s been very rainy and we have two kids home from school for the next three days.
Today wasn’t so bad and the kids played outside while Brett and I did as much work as we could. We had to make a last minute stop at Lowe’s to pick up some items we needed as it was the only thing opened. Publix and Target were both closed up around 2pm so that employees could prepare and hunker down for the storm that is supposed to hit tonight around 3 AM.
We did make sure to take the kids with us for one last visit to the gym before things close up for a few days. We’re going to have to get creative over the next few days to get out workouts in!
The news has been on in our house all day, which is great to see what’s going on, but it’s also the watching and waiting in anticipation that makes it so unnerving. One of the things we are preparing for is power outages so have the generator and extension cords ready to go. Fans, flashlights and batteries are also stocked! We typically do lose power in the storms like this so we are expecting that to happen and unfortunately it might happen while we’re sleeping this evening. Fun!
I hope everyone is feeling as prepared as they can be and staying safe as this storm gets closer to impact. Hunkerdown everyone and stay safe!
Yup!
