Batten Down the Hatches

Hope everyone stays safe!

I feel like I'm heading to Alabama! Packed up this morning and gathered all my essentials--computer back-up drives, medicines, MAKEUP, extra change of clothes, etc. Ha. I'm like Dolly Parton, can't let the "people" see me without my "chemtone" in check. That's what my dad called makeup, "chemtone." Go figure.

The kid is here; and since he's a future meteorologist, he has his room set up like NOAA--TV monitors, computers, etc. Ha. He's on it and is keeping a close eye on things. He says the storms are heading this direction; so around 3ish, we'll head downstairs.

The animules are in lock-down mode, already in the basement--and not too happy about it. Dave has already tried to break into their food supply which is in a sealed plastic tub. Bad kitty. Bella is freaking. Frankie thinks it's kind of fun, running around like a puppy. 

I even moved mom's twin mattress over to our safe spot. Thank goodness we have a true basement underground. The kid found the best spot down there which is surrounded by earth and cinder blocks. We weren't able to use it until I cleaned out all the junk last year! Yay. So, hopefully, I have thought of everything and we're in good shape.

Weather alarms are going off pretty regularly now. Ooofy. Time to shut everything down.
