It’s surreal. All of it.

Sobering.

My stepfather-in-law lives on the barrier island ...just up from Sebastian Inlet. Often he rides it out. (*eye roll*. But he’s 85 and couldn’t give a sh*t). But THIS time he headed to friends in Tarpon Springs.

Looks like we are making weather history - in an unpleasant way.

Yesterday I managed to put up posts and braces to support the PVC fence on the east side of the property {West Orlando}. I kneeled on the ground to pull some roots out of the post hole and found I could not get up even with four tries. Thankfully my son was helping and even though he has some CP he does weight lifting and he was able to pull me to my feet.

I finished the job, with his help, but seem to be quite weak ever since. I still need to cover the windows on the east side of the house and a few other chores - like add one guy wire to the solar tower... maybe tomorrow. It looks like we have until Tuesday at the latest. sigh

For all our sakes I pray pray pray that Dorian turns north earliest.
