The Storm's A-Comin'

Apparently we are on the verge of getting a huge wind storm. So big that the public schools are dismissing an hour early and canceling all after-school activities, causing mothers everywhere to scramble afternoon plans to pick up our children. I also just got a reverse-911 robocall from the town warning me to expect downed trees, road closures and flooding.

Where I live, a big wind storm means we are going to lose power. Fo sho'. We lose power when a light summer breeze passes through town, so I am just praying that all the chicken stock I made and froze on Monday doesn't end up going bad. I'm heading out now to get some more flashlights because ours are for shit.

I got a fill today, back up to 5.5, which is 0.25 cc's less than when I was overfilled. I haven't tried to drink anything yet, busy day, but I'm hoping all goes well since it seems I'll be preoccupied with other matters for the next 48 hours.

I had lost a few pounds before I got sick from the overfill, then lost a lot from being dehydrated, then gained some back from the unfill. Today when I weighed in, I weighed exactly what I weighed when I got the fill that proved to be too much. So the whole experience netted me exactly zero pounds lost between Sept. 2 and Sept. 30.

Here's hoping October is a more productive band month for me.
