After being out of the office most of the last couple days, now I'm going to be out the next few. And after looking forward to Euroquest...I'm probably too tired and stressed out to enjoy it. My gut has been distressed the last few days, usually in the middle of the night, and the one night it didn't bug me was Monday. That night I stayed in the basement, trying unsuccessfully to sleep on a sofa-bed. It's been over a year since I slept in a bed other than mine and the body objected to the change of scenery. So, haven't slept in 4 days, plus the storm, and the usual life stresses. Should be a real interesting weekend. I probably won't be posting much if at all, since I'll be doing 15 hour days at EQ.

Voluntarily. The TPTB went in after the curfew against driving was lifted, found power on and no damage, but told us footsoldiers we could take the day off anyway. I told them I was coming in anyway. Yes, I'm insane. But I was out yesterday and this morning, and I took vacation back in April for Thursday and Friday, so I didn't want to come in for just one day. More importantly, Mom and I were getting on each other's nerves, mostly because Roxie flatout refuses to leave the bedroom. I was given permission to bring CJ to the office (where she promptly pooped in the middle of the floor; sheesh) and even with CJ off the property for 3 hours, apparently it took over 2 of them to get Roxie to go outside. Mom feels this is my fault.

Anyway, there wasn't much going on, just 2 days' worth of mail and few pieces to prep for outgoing. So CJ & I were there about 3 hours, got work done, CJ visited the boss (she knows who keeps treats in his desk!) and hopefully earned brownie points against being out half the week.

Now I need to get some sleep - I had to sleep in the basement thanks to Sandy, and my body/mind just didn't like being in a bed that wasn't mine. Only got a couple hours in as a result.

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.

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.

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...

Nor rain or Frankenstorms, shall stop gamers from, well, gaming. Not ony did we have Alphabet Soup today, it was fairly well attended, 16 people I think, which is a few more than usual. I guess we needed to get it out of our systems before a forced three day shutdown.

If the wind is blowing, I haven't heard it. It is raining steadily now, however. No word on work, although the unofficial word is, call the office, if you get a busy signal the power is out so stay home. I'm not sure what we're doing if the power is ON, the TPTB are so sure the power will be out.
