okay, but i'm not one of the dumbasses still on the island. we're in houston, in a place where the roof will withstand up to 70mph winds... which is what is predicted in this area. anything more than that, you'll see about 15 mescans in the tub. damn them mescans and their big ass families. cuz, you know, it's not just the immediate family. it's brother in laws family and little brothers girlfriend and girlfriends kids and girlfriends kids dog. i dont' mind, really. they're very nice from what i can tell and i really like the brother in law's family. i just hope everyone will have taken showers before we all have to crowd together.
today, they say if you haven't left yet... don't bother. we tried to leave at 4am yesterday morning. it took us an hour to get from one exit to the next. i talked to one woman this morning that said she left at 1am, was on the road for 14 hours and only got 25 miles out. she turned around.
on a different note, Handyman has been sooooo good. he's accepted my whole family, very graciously. even my mother! of course, he wasn't here for most of the time she was. so that was easy. today, he went back to work. i'm not sure they have anything left to sell. they've been crazy busy the last two days. i'm taking the boys up to the store to help him bring all the stuff in. they're getting stir crazy staying in the house anyway, i think. it'll be good for them.
the brother-in-law's went to find ice. they've been gone for quite some time. the bags we got yesterday, of course, have all melted. we've had them in coolers, but it's been pretty hot. the 5 day/90 degree cooler is a crock o'shit.
wish us luck as we ride this whole thing out. i think we'll be okay, as we're not on the "dirty" side of the storm anymore. rita...she's such a dirty girl.
