The hurricane situation is terrifying.

msbelle, are you flooding? The news looked bad.

I wish I had oysters.

I didn't know off the top of my head, and the paperwork is all at home, but I was able to find the answer in one of the old Natter threads. Yay old Natter threads.

Love that.

I fear there's been some upheaval that is not in my favor.

That all...does not sound great.

Congratulations, Maria! That is AWESOME news!

As for weekend plans, I am doing absolutely jack shit, and that is exactly the kind of weekend I need.

we are under flash flood alerts. I am not in low ground so not worried.

Raining for 2 days though, so yeah some areas are bad. Over where my parents live has a lot of low-road areas and a friend's husband hydroplaned off the road just after midnight.

Talk about mixed messages, Maria. I'm glad this ridiculousness ended on the positive.

Buy a boat, msbelle.

Everything in my body aches. Even my thumbs. Hormones are stupid.

Please stay safe, hurricane path and hurricane adjacent friends.

My weekend plans are scanning photos, editing photos, and possibly even taking photos.

In addition to cleaning, I gotta bake some cookies for the pool guards. All the old guards are telling the new, and they ALL kept asking if it was cool enough now I'll start using the oven. HAH! So I'll probably make some snickerdoodles.

We went to the grocery store, along with everyone else, and are now stocked with groceries and ready to spend the weekend holed up in the house.

Yay, Maria!

Ginger, I hope dealing with the medical stuff goes as smoothly as possible.

I carefully didn't schedule anything but a lash and brow dye tomorrow. I wanted an unscheduled weekend, as I've felt tired all week. I might walk to the farmers market; I might see Crimson Peak again, I might spend a couple of days learning the fly the mini-drone I got for my birthday. Or maybe I'll just read books.

ETA: weather~ ma to all who need it.

Hilarious fact I just learned:

Back in the day, Tim had long hair and a big hippie beard. (That's not what I just learned; I knew that because I saw a picture. Then he cut his hair and shaved his beard.)

He's growing his facial hair for Halloween, and I told him that after the party, he needs to shave it off, because I can't handle sleeping with Jesus. I mean, really -- long brown hair and a beard? He looks like every caucasian-ified picture of Jesus in every one of my grade school classrooms.

He told me that back in the day, during his first stint of long hair + beard, when one of his nephews was wee, the nephew thought that the picture of White Jesus on the wall was, in fact, Uncle Tim. He would point to the picture and *say* "Uncle Tim."

I may have sprained something laughing.
