I think you missed the GD at the beginning, but everything else looks about right 
Sorry I've been MIA, didn't have a good weekend and it's spilled over into the week. Not to mention there is a certain DA who didn't listen to reason, and he's sending me videos of a little "wind storm". And now there's a nice sized hole in the floor at WHN's. There's been, what the landlord called, a "weak spot" near the washer. Well, the "weak spot" is now a lovely hole in the floor. We've (me and WHN's sister) have been trying to get ahold of the landlord for over a week, but he hasn't answered any phone calls. Well, tonight, WHN's niece was going to get her clothes out of the dryer and fell through the floor. She's all of 5'2", 85 lbs. She's a TINY little thing, and she fell through the floor. Tells me that the "weak spot" was basically tile over a hole
And then as I was getting ready for bed, I heard a thump, and noticed the washer had sunk a little. We shimmied the washer out of it's home and then WHN's sister fell through the floor too. The landlord finally answered the phone tonight and is supposed to come out some time tomorrow. Looks like, on top of finding a job when he gets home, WHN and I are going to be house or apartment hunting too. When it rains, it pours......

We are starting to feel the effects of the hurricane.
We still have power, we have had pretty good winds and light rain.

Hello ladies and Mike. I'm checking in, even though I don't want to. Today was a total wash. Absolutely ridiculous. Dairy Queen was involved, need I say more? I think not. Anyway, that just means I can't cheat Sunday. I'm totally broke anyway, so I can't afford unhealthy food. Oh well, it will be better tomorrow. I'm not gonna beat myself up over it.

Well, I guess if he is sending you vids, he is not dead. I've been checking FD and FB and the morgue (ok, just kidding about that last one) to see if he's posted anything since landfall, but nada!
Sorry about your house problems! I hope nobody was hurt! But how fun will it be to go look for a place together

??new home hunting has been on the agenda, just not so soon. we had hoped to be able to stay here longer and save some $$ (rent here is dirt cheap, and it's on a well so water is included in the electric bill), but I just don't see that happening. between the spiders from hell, and the hole in the floor, I just don't see staying here very long. oh, and the Jassimonster isn't welcome here, that's a big "we need to find somewhere else to live" for me.

The wind is WHIPPING now. I can hear it howling outside my window. 15 minutes ago it wasn't so bad, which is good b/c I took Mytsie out so she could go potty. I still have power!!

Mike Glad to hear all is well, stay safe.
Judi Nice picture hope your vacation is sooner than later.
Mern Thanks for the hug.
Frenchhen I had a salad (raspberry dressing)and a cup of vegetable beef soup I figured outside the sodium (which was probably insane) it was a pretty safe restaurant lunch. Oh my I get the taking care of yourself after everyone else, putting myself first is easier said than done most of the time.
Ama Way to go one avoiding the Chinese food!
Tori Collapsing floors sounds worrisome hope everyone is ok who fell through

Our power flickered at 6:11am and has been back on. it was enough to wake me up to send me out to set up the camera. The wind and rain for us isn't bad at all. Chloe' and Mytsie are handling it like champs. No barking whatsoever, they are just chilling. All I can say is for us, it looks much worse on tv.
The rain hasn't been bad, just steady. No flooding for me at all, not even street flooding! I do wish the rain would go away, because when I finally get around to being able to cut my grass, it will be a forest.
