Sorry to disappoint. I just got nothing left. But don't worry, once I recharge it'll be game on.

I think the hurricane aftermath did a decent job of knocking me back down to earth. My exhaustion is tired beyond exhaustion.

True.

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Vacation then dealing with a hurricane..... you know, perfectly normal shit. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Low blow when you know how busy I am and can't defend myself with my usual level of snark.

Y'all are the best Korner Krew I could ask for and with that I have to ask that you be a little more patient with me. I'll be working everyday for the foreseeable future until we get the residents taken care of. I have 234 homes to fully assess. I managed to get to 111 today. My feet and knees are completely pissed at me and I don't have the heart to break it to them that we have to do this all over again in the morning. Love you guys! 😘❤

Dammit... you didn't send me one of those for my birthday! Happy Birthday @Wayne Gray! Ya old fart!😘

Thanks molly. We made it through okay. It was pretty scary for a while. We had gusts over 100mph and way more rain than was expected. No damage to our house but a lot of branches and debris from the 3 big oak trees we have. The community I work in sustained heavy damages. We are still assessing and there's a crew from several of our northern properties arriving today to help with clean up and making sure our resident's homes are secure. I'm glad you're back with us. @rickproehl I hope the second opinion yields a better course of treatment for you. I've got another busy day ahead of me but at least I was able to sleep last night. Have a good day everyone!

We have crews from our properties up north coming in today to help with clean up. My boss will be here which I'm happy about. It will prevent me from doing bodily harm to the idiot manager next door. He's pissed me off way too much this week. Hopefully I can go home tonight and make sure chapter 29 is ready to go and post it tomorrow. I had every intention of doing it last night but couldn't keep my eyes open, let alone focused. I was in bed before 8:00. Maybe you guys will settle down then and behave.

Hop

Thanks. We had gusts over 100mph. The wind howled all day and all night. If that wasn't bad enough I had to share a queen air mattress with the hubs and 2 bed hogging dogs. I gave up around 4 this morning.

I have not had time for coffee today. Maybe that's why I nearly bit someone's head off when they insisted I call the power company to inform them a transformer was blown and they had no electricity. *bangs head against wall*. Also I have lost count of how many people I've had to tell that the water is off because the county shut it off. Not. The. Park. I have no idea when it's being turned back on. I'm running on a couple of hours of frequently interrupted sleep and I get really cranky when I'm tired. I had my water shoes on earlier because I had to take pictures of the damages. Flip flops are currently residing on my feet, but I'm inside at the moment. Just gave my guys some $$ to pick up lunch. We have a scrapper coming in to haul away debris. I'll leave the heavy lifting to them. I'll be out after lunch seeing who needs help with what. The residents are the first priority. Overall there's a lot of damage but it could have been much worse. If the storm had come ashore 25 miles north of where it did we would have been screwed.

Yuck fou

I'm actually three sheets to the wind right now. Lol

Ok peeps. So far everyone is okay. We're still supposed to get a lot a rain over the next few hours but we missed the worst of the storm. The park that I work at has a lot of damage that we still need to evaluate in the morning. It was really intense for a while. It's pretty dark now so we'll be out in the morning to see how bad the damage is. As of right now we're safe.

We will be doing our damnedest. No chapter today. We need to move our stuff over to the clubhouse. The building is concrete and should hold up okay. I'll check in as soon as I'm able. If internet is out for a while I'll try to get a message to @Mrsgnomie and she'll update you guys. ❤

Okay DiCers. Keep the positive thoughts flowing that this hurricane shifts south a little bit more. Got back from vacation early yesterday morning. All local hotel rooms already booked up. Driving several hours away isn't an option anymore as most gas stations are out of gas. Yes, we have a full tank, but if we leave we might be stuck not being able to get back. Still no guarantee of finding anything reasonable within driving distance. Luckily I still have water. The county has already shut down the water to my mobile home park. Try explaining to pissed off residents that I can't do anything about it. Don't expect county services if you choose to stay in a MANDATORY evacuation zone. (All mobile home parks are level A which means they're the 1st to be issued). I did manage to persuade at least 4 residents who were planning on staying to leave. I still have a few diehards who insist on staying in the equivalent of a tin can. To top things off, just discovered my car battery is dead. That at least solves the dilemma of should we stay or go. Looks like we're in this for the long haul. Fingers crossed everyone. Fingers crossed.

Raven, as of right now I'm in the center of the Bullseye. If things start getting really bad I'll move over to the clubhouse next door. It's a cement building that should hold up well. It's not looking good.

Eh... doesn't bother me.

I'll try to post on Wednesday. It all depends on how Ian (and not Lex's Ian) behaves. We need it to jog a couple hundred miles to the west, otherwise we're getting slammed with the backside of the storm which is where some serious rain hangs out, not to mention wind. Going into work tomorrow to make sure everything is battened down and the residents are evacuating. All mobile home communities are under mandatory evacuations right now. We might need to bug out too. Depends on how this thing tracks. They're shutting down water service to the island across the bay from us tomorrow evening. Why anyone would want to stay on a barrier island in a hurricane is beyond me. Right now I've got the ice maker going non-stop so I can pack the freezers so if we lose power the frozen stuff has a fighting chance. Keep your fingers crossed.

Still wondering who ever could have suggested that word to her? We all know her vocabulary isn't warped enough to come up with it on her own.

I'm claiming exhaustion and not realizing I didn't clear the editor. Why does it do that anyway?

1% is still an option.

Straight from her profile: MrsGnomie loves being in love and the not-so-easy-road getting there. What is life if we're not challenged along the way? M/M, humor, banter, drama, HEA. You can draw your own conclusions.

She's my evil twin.
