Goodnight Irene

The talk of the town is still Hurricane (tropical storm for us) Irene. It's supposed to hit us sometime tonight.   I don't know if anyone is coming to walk us today, it looks kind of scary outside. Linda has her regular classes today, though she does not know how many students will show up.  When she gets home, she needs to clear off our deck so things don't go blowing around.  Hopefully, it won't already be raining too hard.  She decided to go to Target and return the broken stroller last night and while she was there, she stocked up on canned dog/cat food.  Everyone was buying all sorts of emergency supplies (toilet paper, bread, milk, ice, cases of water, flashlights) but Linda had a cart full of pet food.  The cashier looked at her funny, but did not say anything.  After, she went to church.  It was her favorite Family Night yet.  Yeah for family! A group of her friends went to a restaurant after, but Linda came home to prepare her routines for today and get a good night sleep.  Linda loves being alone and reading, doing chores and having it quite.  She is such a home-body but really needs to start socializing more. I think she is letting people down by not going to movies, dinners, lunches, and parties. Maybe it's time for her to change.  Her new goal:  One group activity a week.  My new goal:  One extra nap a week.
