Bottled water... check - Non-perishables ... check - Flashlights... check - Push lights... check - X-tra batteries... check - Candles... check - Matches... check -  Battery backups... check - Bread... check ...

I am cooking a big caldero of brown rice Arroz con Pollo with cilantro, perejil, azafrán and sazón ... have my chafing pans and burners ready to go ... 

Is there a battery operated coffee maker? gotta have some hot café and of course BAGELS for the family... I have my rny friendly stuff down pat!!!! hmmmmmm how about thermos full of café... that works!

BE SAFE EVERYONE!!!! Mandatory evacuation orders are in place here .. if you are in those areas please leave as instructed .... otherwise hunker down and be safe!!!     Leaving Bruegger's bagels with bag full of dozens ....   

Me with my goodies heading to my car for the drive home... after an awesome Zumba Fitness/Toning this morning at WOW with DD as instructor...

This is a good time to finish up my mural ... it is growing on me ... although I plan to replace it with a winter scene after Thanksgiving...

Because I track my progress in my digital journal "a picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away" this is my week last week in pictures .... keeping a total weight loss of 203 pounds one day at a time, one choice at a time ... 5 years 8 months and 23 days post RNY ... loving health and mobility....  

All of our emergency supplies including fire wood are stashed and in place ... the ferrets taken care of and provided for I even made special back packs to tote my guys in in the event we have to leave... hoping to stay warm and dry and for the storm to pass with no major problems...    

BE SAFE EVERYONE!!!!! THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE...

It sounds like you have it all under control!  

You, the family and the furbabies be safe too!!!!! We are hunkered down and waiting to see what happens. . .I still keep hoping Sandy will change her mind about where she is heading and hang a sharp right and go out to sea and miss us entirely. . . .

I am hoping so also Lynn ... my friends already got evacuated in East Haven ... we are very close to the water too but on a hill ... Everyone along Cosey Beach, Morris Cove and Lighthouse Park were given mandatory evacuations ... the list is much longer ... we are hoping for the best...

You and your family keep safe too! We are hunkering down ... the last thing I ran out to get were battery operated transistor radios just in case....

We are hunkering down in our own way here. Bottled water check, gas for generator check, all set oops car in the garage check.

Be safe!!!! They shut down schools and non-essential State personnel... evacuations are underway ... The generator is a big plus!!!
