Hurricane Rita
Here she comes, Hurricane Rita, headed for just about 45 miles south of us.
As you can see from the map, that's right on our backdoor. And considering the waterways leading from there to Houston, storm sugres are expected to reak havoc on our city.
Went out to Sam's ---throngs n throngs n oodles n oodles of people there, it was chaos, pure mayhem-ok maybe not mayhem-but close to it. It was crazy.
We stocked up on some non-perishables, mostly we needed Puppy food (both dry & canned).
Stocked up on some crackers, pies etc. Hubby says we need bread *which Sam's was out of* so that just in case we lose power, we can have PJ sandwiches! We had plenty of water, soft drinks, gatorde and propel to get us through the weekend. Bought grapes and plums. Chicken, which I plan on cooking tomorrow night or Friday morning.
IL's are coming to spend Fri-Sun with us. Although I'm still a bit hesitant about that since the wkend we went to Austin, MIL says someone "broke in" to her house while she was gone, and stole her beige suitcase, she can't find it anywhere (???) I say more of the same (Alzheimers? Dementia?) can't be too sure at this point. But Hubby's point to her that someone wouldn't break in and steal JUST that suitcase, the point is lost on her. Someone broke into her home, period. So, I told Hubby they can stay put unless we see that we're getting more of a direct hit. Don't want her worried about someone else coming in and stealing 'select' items while she's over here.
Hubby will be out of town tomorrow. Boo hiss, client refused to settle so he's flying out tomorrow and will be back in the evening. Day trip....
Meanwhile, I'm researching Life insurance for the hub's. He needs it. Also needs to be seen by an Ortho for his knee problem (gives away at odd times) but he is still refusing. I can only imagine what it'll be like to get him to get his colonoscopy!
Meanwhile, I'm tracking Ritas progress. I'll know more in the morning as to exactly where she plans on making waves....the computer models have her eye set on Matagorda or Freeport, somewhere between Galveston & Corpus.
