TPTB Have Spoken

The office is closed today. There is power at the office, but a main access road is threatening to fall into a river so the office manager said screw it, everyone stay home.

But can I get back to sleep, that is the question...

Sandy Update

Still have power, wind and rain are both picking up, CJ is still willing to leave the porch to do her thing but I doubt that'll last much longer, her dentist appointment is still on for tomorrow but work is very unlikely. I might wind up with the whole week off; I took Thursday and Friday off for Euroquest back in April, we closed today and will probably be closed tomorrow. Wednesday will depend on whether we have power. Running through the DVRed shows while we can.

ETA - Doggie dentist just called, tomorrow is cancelled.

Everyone Knows It's Windy

Blowing something awful out there now, and we've sprung a leak somewhere on the back porch. Not huge, but enough to make us worry. Keeping an eye on the stairwell storm drain and keeping it clear. I'm going to try sleeping in the basement tonight, the wind will be just too noisy to try it in my bedroom. Work is probably off for tomorrow; Baltimore City has ordered all non-emergency vehicles off the roads until noon tomorrow, which would make going to the office, uh, sort of illegal. Also, the Falls is up to parking lot level now and rising, so the roads will be closed even if Falls Road doesn't collapse. Meeps. Power has gone out 3 times, for 15 minutes or less each time, but I have no cell signal.

More amusingly - CJ went out to do her thing. She tends to poop in a tripod position, with one hind leg pointed skyward. Well, she tried to do that this evening - and was blown over mid-poop. She returned to me very wet and rather embarrassed.
