And it's ov

We didn't get hit, thank God! Not much anyway and not here at our street. A little wind and a little rain. What a let down after all the hype. We were totally prepared. Unfortunately not everyone was as lucky as us and Hurricane Irene was devastating to a lot of people.

Power was lost at SCSU so we didn't have work until noon today. The skies have been beautiful and autumn is in the air. The hurricane refreshed my world. And all the prep we did, well at least some of it can be considered the beginning of autumn cleaning.

I almost finished half of my exchange knitting and plan on doing the rest of it over the long weekend. I need to get it to its destination before the end of September.

Oh and I my brakes are gone. Ant #2 took the Jeep out a little while ago and lost the brakes. Luckily Carol's not going to work until Tuesday so they can give me rides to work. She got her new job and worked there yesterday and today and starts for real on Tuesday.

I am sore as hell. Went swordfighting last night for the first time since faire ended. I missed the first class last week. Oh my God! Chris is lighter on the fighting, so far, but a lot heavier on the stretching. No more "go stretch for 10 minutes". Now it's this is what we do and we do it all together. It didn't hurt at all until I woke up this morning. Now it's oh my God!
