Rina - Wednesday - 3:00pm

Well... yet another adventure coming up for me.  Last night I spent alot of time preparing my condo and my mind for the storm.  I moved everything inside and away from the windows.  Moved all my electronics onto a small table in the 1/2 bath... which is the only place free from windows.  Packed a survival box and charged pretty much everything i could.  I've got movies to watch, music to hear, books to read.... and blog posts to write.

The storm is supposed to hit in the early morning, like 2AM.  At this point, I think i'll go to sleep in my bed... but the back up plan is the hallway where I'm protected from all windows.  If the winds start, I will go there.  I am hearing more and more that the storm is weakening.  I hope that's true.  But what does that really mean anyway?  Weakening a super strong hurricane... is still a hurricane.  "weakening" could me alot of things.  Regardless, I am as prepared as i can be.

Oh my god... the wind just picked up... hahaha.  Now it's a light breeze.  It is actually very calm.  The calm before the storm I guess.  Maybe it sucks up all the wind... I dunno.

I just found out that even when/if the power does go out... Playacar will be the first to be restored.  Apparently the wires are underground, so there shouldn't be too much that can get destroyed.  funny I never noticed that before.

Well, Luckily, I have experience with my place flooding.  I am so ready!
K, signing off... The sun is actually out and it is perfect day for sun tannin'.

I'll be in touch as soon as I can.
