Prepared for the worst, hoping for the best

[alee_grrl]

Well I'm as prepared as one can be for a hurricane/snowstorm thing. I've got plenty of drinking water stored (12 gallons all recently put aside); 10 gallons of water stored for flushing/washing up/etc.; food; means for cooking and staying warm (yay for propane cook stove and propane heat), an ample supply of medications and general first aid stuff; loads of batteries for my flashlights, lantern and weather radio; clean clothes (did laundry today); and board/card games to tempt my house neighbors into keeping me company, not to mention a ton of books and my knitting project to keep me entertained. I'm picking up the rest of my medication refills on Monday and will grab any last minute items I may need then. Hopefully Sandy will loose power or turn out to sea, but better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.

Lots of good thoughts and love to everyone who might be in her path.
