Sorry to be gone so long. I’ll try to catch you up a bit. I saw two movies. First Bad Moms Christmas which was really good and then Daddy’s Home 2 which was awful.

Chuck is having his hip replacement on December 18th. Hopefully he will be out of pain after that. Poor guy is so miserable.

I’m going back to Dr. Wacks Tuesday and I hope to be off steroids then. My weight is up but it’s really hard to lose on those pills.

Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!

I went to see American Made tonight. I liked it a lot.  It’s based on a true story too. It was nice to get out at night.  Tomorrow is Mahjong. I’m trying to pull myself out of this funk and have a semblance of a life again. It seems the more I stay in the harder is is to go out. Not good.

Hope y’all are doing good!

Roche’ said he’s been left out long enough and wants to come back and see y’all. He’s been a “pretty” good boy. Usually. He tries not to get in trouble but it’s hard sometimes.

Anyway I’ve been in a kind of funk this week and not been very sociable. It happens sometimes I know but I never even left the apartment for days. Just showered and got in clean pj’s and that’s about it. Today I went to Publix finally. I’ve been eating out of the pantry and it was getting hard to do!

Hope y’all are doing good. I am too. Now.

It’s Paul’s birthday!  Let’s all wish him a happy day today!

Everything is pretty much back to normal in my world. I’m going to shop tomorrow and send a box to a friend in Puerto Rico. She has water and internet but no power so dry food and batteries and books. She’s a cruise friend (Paul it’s Nannie) and there are lots of us sending things so it should help.   I know what it’s like to eat out of the pantry but I only had to do it for a few days. There is no telling when she’ll get power. One estimate is six months. I sure hope it’s not that long.  Hope y’all are good. I am.

I ventured into Whole Foods today thinking publix would be a zoo. I was able to get a dozen eggs for $6.99,  chicken, salad stuff, and a few small incidentals. No milk available. It's getting back to normal though.

I have a session with Andre Monday morning. Trying to rebuild life here.

Hope you are well. I'm fine.

Final storm update:  I'm home with full power and Internet and cable. I emptied the fridge and freezer and I'm totally exhausted. I shall be fine tomorrow. Thanks so much for all your concern and caring. Y'all are totally tits!

Still no power but I did see six power trucks working right outside the gate so hopefully it won't be long now. Chuck's is back as of last night.

One neighbor called to to see if he could "borrow " some ice. I said where would I get ice?  He said doesn't your freezer have any?  Head. Wall. Head. Wall.

Next up is a guy on the seventh floor that called Comcast to fix his service. They came out. The problem?  No power. FFS people.

So that's it in my world... how's yours?

Irma update Sunday night:  it's just wind and rain now. The power is out. Cable has been out most of the day. I'm very comfortable in a lovely home with a generator so there is ac and we cooked a nice dinner. Hope to go home tomorrow and hope power is back on soon. But not to worry about me. I spoke to  Chuck and he was not as comfortable as me but was ok and safe. We were on the lucky side of the state for sure.

Dear friends,  I shall be fine.   Chuck is staying at Fern House and as I told you I'm staying at a friend's house. We are in the area that others have been evacuated into. We are not in an evacuation zone. It will be scary but we are strong and will do fine. We won't, however, have power afterward and possibly not cell service either. If I don't post that is the reason. As soon as I'm able I will let you know what's happening. Love you all...
