Ike

I blame Ike for the headache I've had since yesterday (which is more probably hormonal, but the pressure changes are not going to help it; at least it's not migraine-status yet). We had a short email round about emergency procedures in case the library is forced to close early, so this weekend I get to remain alert and on-call to ... update the website to let people know we're closed if we happen to close early. Whee. (We might get high winds along with the rain, and the library has a tendency to flood in places if there's severe rain. But the library is one of the campus' designated storm shelters, so we herd kids down to the basement if there's a tornado warning.)

That and making sure my umbrella is in my car is the extent of my hurricane preparedness. And I'm making a trip to Hobby Lobby at lunchtime to get supplies for more kanzashi stuff so I don't have to do it in the rain this weekend.

But Ike is large enough that although the eye of the storm is 500 miles away, if you look to the southeast from where I am you can see a high band of clouds, the harbingers of the storm. :D


(Why do I have a desire to reread John Barnes' Mother of Storms?)
