Remember last year, when Ian knocked out my power for two weeks? Yeah, that shit sucked.
It doesn’t look like this one is going to be too much of anything. It’s not even raining hard.
Hopefully, that’s a good sign. I really don’t have it in me to do two weeks with no AC, because it’s fucking hot outside, and living without AC makes me super cranky. Puffin too, and I can’t deal with a cranky dog.
I think they may be overblowing the blusters, which has been the case 10 out of 11 years prior, so I’m not worried.
Of course, if you pop over to the prepper lines, these people are hardcore freaking out. I like to think of the prepper community as the most anxiety ridden people in existence. They’re always on the most extreme what-if scenario, just really in a panic at all times.
It’s pretty exhausting to me, I can’t maintain that level of “oh, my God”, because I’ll need a fucking nap. Maybe two naps.
I’m a lifer down here in The Swamp, I’ve seen worse rain and wind on a random Tuesday, so I can’t let the weather really get me in a snit. There’s so many other things that feel like they’re prepper worthy, but not this.
Regardless, Puffin has her FreshPet, and plenty of water. MeMe is super prepared for whatever, so I had to do a grand total of no planning, just the way I like it. We’re just watching the light drizzle from the comfort of the porch, and that’s all the news I have.
Although, I’m super happy I’m back from North Florida, because it looks like they’re going to get some action. I’ll just enjoy the electricity that TECO has been strongarming half my paycheck for, and that’s going to cover it.
Now, if it were the Zombie Apocalypse, we would certainly have some hop-to-it happening around here, but I don’t see any zombies, and shit just ain’t really apocalyptic looking. If I see Famine ride up in this bitch, though…
I’ve got a solid plan for that. Most of it involves liquor, because by the time those horsemen are in the house, you've got problems that really can only be solved by becoming blackout drunk, and fast.
Moral of the story: keep liquor on hand for the horsemen, and a generator for everything else.
That’s all I got, Bitchfaces. Don’t let your shit blow away should it get blustery. Keep an eye out for Famine, and be certain you have water for your pets.
I’ll see y’all after the storm.

It's definitely some culture shock up here. I'm just taking it all in.
Great advice! I am absolutely horrible at prepping so I feel ya
