After the Storm

Yes, I'm still talking about the storm known as Hurricane Ida in certain circles and Historic Nor'Easter in circles where people sitting in an office 90 minutes from here have no idea what they're talking about. Never fear, though, because by the end of this post we'll be talking about my optometrist. Welcome to free form, stream of consciousness rambling hot air thoughts brought on by four days of confinement due to a hurricane stormy weather.

This is a picture of my yard on Friday after the storm started to slack off and I could walk around without being freakishly paranoid concerned the camera would get wet.

Ordinarily, the water (even at high tide) doesn't come near those two pine trees. Fortunately I'm on high enough ground that the house stays dry, even in a storm of this magnitude.

For the past four days the only thing that's happened here is this: cooking, sleeping, and eating--not necessarily in that order. Occasionally there was cooking while sleeping, and sleeping while eating, both of which really cause a mess. Periodically I'd read blogs and leave cheeky comments check e-mail and glance at the television, whether it was on or not.

In short, I've grown fond of this concept known as semi-vegetation hibernation.

During this state of vegetation meditation, I've given serious, considerable, substantive thought to ways of earning money without 100-mile daily commutes. If you've heard this already, please just play along and nod politely. It involves a TV show which I am absolutely positive would be successful, interesting, informative and--most of all--humorous and entertaining.

When I say "substantive thought" I mean that I discussed my ideas with my optometrist, who smiled and nodded politely. But really, the idea that's brewing is a good one, if only someone can make it happen. Evidently that person will not be my optometrist.

And here we have the conclusion of a post which started off talking about the storm and which ended as predicted expected, having nothing to do with a storm but everything to do with references to my optometrist.

The End.

p.s. Have a great Sunday and if possible make it a point to do absolutely nothing except eat, sleep and cook - not necessarily in that order.
