This morning, I woke up with a murderous headache and attitude problem, and decided to skip yoga and walking. Just a foul mood, lots of “who do you think you are, you can’t write, you’ll die a failure, alone and afraid” stuff. I went over what I’ve been doing recently, and I think the mood […]

Post-Hurricane Ian report: meh. It could have gone super-bad but didn’t. I feel like the news tried to drive more panic than necessary, but I also can’t blame anyone, because some people won’t do squat if you don’t turn the panic level up to 11. I like storms, so anything that doesn’t get too violent

1. …and the power is out again. 2. Well, holy shit. I put everything in the freezer in a giant insulated freezer bag. Including two trays of ice cubes on their sides. The ice cubes were mostly unmelted this morning. I’m gonna cook & shred the uncooked meat (chicken thighs, chorizo) and put it in

Power still out! Internet via cell 4G network super slow. Looks like power mostly restored on the Tampa side. May jump over to a Starbucks later; I need to be on a call this afternoon. Going out for a walk.

1. Doing fine so far this morning! The storm turned a bit south last night. Pretty quiet, actually. Power & water still good. 2. Hurricane Ian/Tampa update. We’re finally seeing some wind and heavier rain. I went out walking earlier and the Hillsborough River water level was pretty low. 3. Power out! Going offline to

Checking in. It just started raining. Sounds like tonight’s gonna be noisy but not horrible (40 mph winds, heavy rain, but landfall to the south). Some guy’s outside, bragging it up how bad it is, when the parking lot’s full of cars of people who didn’t evacuate. So tough there, buddy.

Yesterday was a lot of running around, errands, phone calls, and other assorted hugger-mugger, in preparation for the hurricane. Today has been pretty good so far, but who knows how it will go. Ray and I are staying in place; we are out of range/elevation for the storm surge. I anticipate the power and water

Right! Ray and I are in Tampa, which means we’re in the path for Hurricane Ian. We were in St. Pete next to the bay, but now we are further away from the water, around Busch and 50th. We are near the top of the one hill in Tampa and are not actually in an

Yoga: My lower spine hurt this morning, so I was really only vigorous with my shoulders, but WOW was it easier to balance this morning. Clearing primal crud out of hip joints may prove really useful…go figure. (I don’t know why I’m calling it primal crud but it feels right, even if I can’t make

Nur…good writing day but too tired to write much journal-y stuff. Summary: Yoga good but I opened up that sore hip further than usual, along the joint beside the spine, and it felt like it opened up a well of deep crap, like, beyond primal, and I’ve felt yucky all day. I went for a
