Pookie -- I'm right there with you and the Weather Channel since DS is down there too, at college in Winter Park -- it's turned on right now. It's unbelievable, all right.
I imagine the two of us are going to be up all night watching the Weather Channel since the hurricane's going to hit late tonight. You're so right about the power outages and I'm reading that it may be a LONG time to get the power back on since the whole infrastructure has been so battered by the other hurricanes.
Hugs and let's hope all our loved ones stay safe.
As for you, my dear, I'm so sorry to hear about your drain woes. I hope your doctor can get it out without too much trouble -- tell him that you like all those wonderful pain meds and to please give you some.
Other than that, how are you feeling and how's the weight loss? And how's your sister doing these days?
