As I've been tucked away inside my home, safe and sound, and slowly loosing my sanity, Fay has been living up to it's old lady's name, moving as painfully slow as possible. What an asshole.
Although Fay has given me the gift of two days off from work, I'm really not that happy. Yesterday (first day off) I was all "yay! tropical storm party! woo hoo!!" but then a few slowly sipped glasses of wine and a movie later, my friend Heather and I stared at each other bouncing back and forth a "So, what should we do now?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" and that was the extent of our little "party". We so crazy. It also didn't help that the "tropical storm" was just a rainy day at best, not much action at all.
Things got a little more exciting early this morning however, when I woke up to the noise of 60 MPH winds outside my window. Unfortunately the excitement didn't last long, by 9:00 we were right smack dab in the eye of the storm, all things quiet. I was convinced however, that the high winds would return at about 8:00 or so tonight (I trust the weather guy a little too much), so I talked my manager into letting me stay home another day because "I'll have to drive home late, and I can't drive in 60 MPH winds, and the bridges might be closed, and YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DIE DO YOU?". So students were called and things were rescheduled and now I have one seriously loaded Saturday (but no lost hours...yippee!) and wouldn't you know it, we sat in the flippin' eye ALL DAY LONG. No rain, no wind, no need for the earlier dramatics. So now I feel pretty stupid... how was I to know though?
I mean look at the beach this morning!
Pretty exciting right? It really wasn't as dangerous as it might appear in the video, promise. ;)
So, back to work tomorrow and PLEASE GOD let this thing be gone by Saturday!!
