- Amass a nice reserve of water for us and Barley
- Fit in a shopping trip for other vitals such as Starbucks frappuccino (gotta get coffee somehow!) and batteries
- Make fresh popcorn and get other food supplies
- Get all the blow-away-able stuff secured or brought inside (well, I hope so)
- Strategically place candles throughout the house
- Put away the kiddos toys or other items that would be a nice tripping hazard in the pitch black
- Do laundry and put away the laundry
- Do all the dishes
- Run 3 miles (on the treadmill)
- Eat dinner
- Get the kids to bed
- Get the bathrooms cleaned
- Charge all essential items (and some non-essential, but nice to haves)
It's amazing how a time crunch can motivate and focus you! It's starting to snow/rain and the wind gusts are really picking up. Luckily we still have power, but we'll see how long that lasts....
Until next time...
Stay safe and dry!
UPDATE: Tuesday 10/30 - We were lucky and really didn't get hit with much. It rained a lot and was windy, but we didn't even lose power! Now the temperatures have dropped enough that it's gently snowing. Now we have enough bottled water to supply our next race. Kevin mentioned that if he ever runs into the local weatherman, he wants to throw all the D batteries and water that we purchased at him. :) I guess we will be better prepared for the next weather storm...which is likely to be a blizzard!
