I’m guessing that the eye of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isabelle is over us now. We had hard rain and winds all night but now it’s calming out there. No real lightning with this storm. Just rain and lots of it.
I’m going to try to get everyone fed then try for a shower before the power goes out again. I don’t know what it is but I wake up a split second before the power goes out. I can’t breathe. It happened 2 or 3 times during the night and has happened a few times before this. Add to that the fact that my answering machine loudly tells me to record a greeting and … well I’m up now. 3 strikes and I’m up.
The house still smells of skunk. My mother, in her great experiment with prime rib, made a dinner last night that absorbed the skunk. She says she couldn’t taste it. I tasted it with every bite. Needless to say that I didn’t eat much. I had the potatoes instead, I could cover those in gravy and forget the smell.
I am being pestered by animals now. All wanting food well before their time to eat. Oh well. I’ll check in later.
