Hurricane Helene

Too much hype!

Here in Kings Point, everything’s closed down.

Maybe it’ll worsen but at least now, it’s just a little breezy but not hurricane force. The trees are “dancing” rather attractively but in no way were there damaging winds.

The NOAA website shows a wind-speed that’s severe but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to the predicted hurricane force winds.

===========

The big oak trees along the pond behind my condo have been dancing as if they’re doing a pretty waltz. I just noticed the swaying has upped to more of a fast polka tempo.

===========

Everything has re-opened. I guess we were fortunate in Sun City Center and Kings Point. Other parts of Florida had horrid outcomes. I don’t know the number but I believe over a hundred died!!!

Finally! NOT Sick!

I worked at the Squad this morning. I can honestly say that I feel pretty good. I’d say I’m almost completely back!

Feeling Better (Sorta)

I have been under the weather for a week, first with sore throat and then a severe stuffy nose. I just couldn’t breathe.

Saturday night I got thinking. It felt like back in Michigan when pollen and dust would get me down.

A coincidence: A/C quit working so I ran the ceiling fans (BR and great room) all the time. A/C was fixed at the same time I got sick.

My cleaning lady generally dusts the fans, but maybe not ever time she cleans. Either way the bedroom dust would fall on my bed and it had been too long since I’d washed the sheets. Yesterday morning I washed the sheets so last night I slept in a clean bed. (Maybe I should have washed the blanket too, but I noticed the difference with just the sheets.) I may have a cold as well, but everything together caused a problem.

I’m still sorta suffy but much better. Hopefully it’ll clear up completely eventually.

Sick Again!

I woke up Monday (the 2nd) with a sore throat. Two covid tests over two days came out negative but I got a sub for today (Wednesday) at the Squad. Slept in until after 10 a.m. Feeling somewhat better. I’m hoping to be able to attend the Squad’s luncheon Friday.

===============

Friday – Sept. 6, 2024

I was up at 8 a.m. but was so tired that I went back to bed and slept until after 11! I missed the annual Emergency Squad luncheon. The food was given out at 11:30.

Tomorrow my cleaning lady should be coming but I changed her until Tuesday. Here’s hoping I’ll feel better.
