neuroticgirl's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hurricane Ivan The whole time I lived in Jacksonville, all 29 years, I only once evacuated for a hurricane. And it turned out to be for no reason. So I've been here for almost 5 months. That's it. And here I am evacuating for a fucking category 5 Hurricane Ivan. This shit totally sucks. And I really hope that it's all for nothing when it's all said and done because it'd suck pretty damn bad if it hit and fucked everything up. We look like we've already been looted. All my books and anything by windows has been tidily (heh!) packed into rubbermaid bins and moved to bathrooms with no windows. Calebs turtle will be relocated to the bathtub instead of it's happy little home in the backyard. We've bought enough junk food and sandwich meat to feed a large third world country and as soon as David gets home from work this morning we'll be heading out to Jacksonville. David, Ian, Caleb, Jessica, Tyler, Tiger (cat #1), Lola (cat #2), Dexter (dog #only) and me. Doesn't that sound like about as much fucking fun as I can handle. A van load of crap, 6 people, 3 animals, some knitting, and a book. Wheee. Anyway, anyone out there along the gulf or in the panhandle, be safe. Hope it's not as bad as the local news makes it out to be and good luck. 7:25 a.m. - 09.14.04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
