Goodness! This month has raced by and is nearly gone. This morning, however, I am sitting here with my county under a tornado warning/watch for a couple of hours which reminded me of the always question: “am I prepared?” As during certain times of the year we seem to have these rather frequent watch/warning alerts, I’m thinking perhaps I should put together a small bag with just the absolute minimum things I might need as I generally move to my small, windowless bathroom as the safest place to be when the siren goes off. That is our signal that a tornado has actually been sighted and is on the ground. Proper shoes, water, something to eat, a little first aid kit, flashlight, my phone and a fully charged power bank. During the time I have lived here tornadoes have hit as close as 2 miles away resulting in lots of downed power lines and the inconvenience of no electricity. Hmph, as Old Mtn Woman says. But I”m grateful no direct hits to my house.
I had planned to go to town today to see if I could get involved with a Silver Sneakers group at our civic center. My balance is getting worse and worse as time goes on and perhaps some regular exercise might help? I could exercise at home but I won’t. Hmph!!!! I just love Old Mtn Woman. She makes me laugh. Thank you, Old Mtn Woman wherever you are for taking the time to make your posts!
