It's been one of those days...

Of worry, of course. The son isn't doing very well today. He has an appointment tomorrow with his PCP, I wanted to take him to the ER this morning but he won't go. Long story, but he just isn't well today. Then there's the youngest daughter and her family, and more of my extended family, in and around St. Petersburg. My daughter is one of those people who prefers to hunker down with the generator, kids, food, and husband and wait out the storm. As of last night, I couldn't convince her that they needed to evacuate. But at 7 AM this morning, something woke her up and now they are evacuating. I think the storm staying pretty much on track, along with the terrible winds that are part of it all, scared her. Their house is very strong, brick, and they are always prepared for a storm, but this time, she decided to not wait it out. They have a lot of huge trees in their yard, and while they are beautiful trees, if one fell on the house, it wouldn't play out well. So my day with her has been her calling and texting off and on all day, trying to keep me updated as to where they were going and such. They had planned on going to her Dad's. But the assisted living facility, along with nursing homes and some hospitals, are evacuating people. Her grandparents are in their 90's and not well, and so they have to go to their son's house or a shelter. Well, of course they are going to their son's (my kids Dad, and the ex's parents) and the house is smallish, it would be hard to add 2 more adults and 2 little bitty boys. So daughter and son in law made other plans. Between all of that, and son's issues today, I sort of feel like a floppy rag doll. I am hoping that tomorrow or the next day it will all be less stressful. Do you have family or friends in the path of the hurricane? Are they evacuating? I hope they do if they are in danger...we can somehow get new places to live, but we can't replace the people we love.
