He also mentions that the hospital food is good

Well, at least they're giving him the good drugs.

And bug, it is insane. He and his fiancée hope for a doctor to come on rounds soon.

~ma for your brother, Typo Boy!

You have earned your whine, Kristin. I didn't realize you started work so soon. Much -ma that you get home soon.

exactly, this.

So it was a long day. This morning while slaving over a hot copy machine, DD walked in and told me that I looked "appropriate" (comments from others were elegant, feminine and refined). several appreciated the move toward Neo-Victorian and said they can't wait to see what I pull out next.

During the day DD appeared and wanted to do a 'lesson plan' check. He then went over my plans as if he was looking for a mistake. And he wonders why I act like I don't want to see him or talk to him!

The English classes have between 11 and 25 students while the Drama class has 36. The school still insists the Drama class "can't" be split into 2 classes. Then we had a faculty meeting at the end of the day because DD wanted us to have ice cream. And he sends students around every period to the teachers without planning periods to offer room temperature water or granola bars. (but, according to him, there isn't enough money in the budget for 'extras'?)

So my feet hurt. I have to type up vocabulary for tomorrow and figure out some notes. I still don't understand what all they want done with the classes.

As of now we are having school tomorrow. If the storm looks too bad they may dismiss early. I know there is a 100% chance of rain tomorrow; however, we are hopeful the storm won't be too bad.

Hope the other Florida ~istas are going to be OK, too!

ETA~one of my female students outed herself to me today. I'm the first adult she has told, as well as one of the few people she has told. She says she realized it this summer and then things started to make sense. She's so upset because she thinks her parents will hate her and cut her off from the family. (in this area, it's a possibility) She's also worried about how people will react around her, now. Poor kid...

Laga, that looks YUM!

it is teh yum. It makes the broccoli taste like cheese!

Typo Boy I hope your brother gets some good news soon.

ugh GG. Much coping~ma to you.

The benefit to being a Florida native is the "let's play the guessing game" with hurricanes. Looking at the 3 and 5 day cones and knowing how disorganized the system is, it could very well make landfall then bounce off the coast and head back into the Gulf to take a whack at Texas.

Or it could just keep going on that vague northward track, which means we get lots rain and wind. I'm not too worried, all in all-- we have non-perishables and water and full gas tanks. Plus, Jax hasn't been directly hit by a hurricane since 1961 unless you count the clipping by Frances a few years back.

Poor lamb. I'm glad she felt she could safely turn to you.

I hope your brother gets news soon ,Typoboy

and while I wish you didn't have to put up with DD, GGh -- I guess you have a reason to be there.

Stay safe Floridians!

I want the house vacuumed. I would just prefer it done by the housekeeping fairy. That doesn't seem to exist. It is possible that the dust I raised when I clapped my hands saying "I believe in fairies" may have killed her.

Very true. The 'newbies' are all in a panic here. I just find it amusing that the storm tracks are so scattered. I also love the storm cone that just covers all of Florida but the panhandle. I don't want the day off now because I'd rather have the week off in November.

Except for the "No Name Storm" in '93, Citrus County hasn't been hit since Helena in '85. Oh yeah, I forgot about Frances in '04. That was just a really soaking storm, it could have been much worse. This county couldn't handle a direct hit. Most of the stuff west of 19 would be underwater.

Well, I just got word from the School Board. We are having school tomorrow; however, all schools will be dismissed 2 hours early. Hmmm, I'm supposed to go to a meeting about National Board Certification tomorrow, wonder what will happen to that?

I'm glad she felt she could safely turn to you.

Me too. She is such a great kid. Hub has known the family for at least 25 years. He held this girl as a baby. I talked to him and he said her fears are grounded. I just want to protect her.

Yeah I'm not to worried about getting hit, I'm trying to remember what the forecast says, mostly we won't get hit.

There's a conference this weekend in Orlando that hasn't been cancelled, since things should be fine by then, we assume.

Dad's trying to figure out the weather before he comes back.
