My leukemia's back.

@Cynthia12 Hope you feel better soon!
It sounds like DH and I are starting to come down with the the same thing as you.
Oh no. I hope you don't get too bad. My throat is so bad, thinking it won't hurt to go get checked for strep. Good thing about having it, the sore throat can be treated with an antibiotic. If no strep, no cure. :(. I Know what that means for me. A couple of weeks of an eventual cough. Ugh.
 
Oh boy..this hurricane reminds me of when our family was in Mexico when Hurricane Wilma hit..at a cat 5! We were blessed to have been able to be taken inland to Miridia..spelling. I had fallen during evacuation...my right shoulder! They brought in a Dr. while we were waiting for the buses to be ready to go. The Dr. Said..you need to go to Cancun to see a Dr. He could tell it was dislocated. I said, I'm not going to Cancun! This hurricane is going to hit there too! We were at a place down the coast called Alkumal. Anyway..yes, it..moved..slow! Did a number all the way up to Cancun. Cancun was hit pretty bad..then it veered off..towards Florida. Hurricane Wilma hit Florida at a Cat 3. Side note..once we were waiting in Miridia..they had the offer for some of us to go to the airport to make a huge roundabout to get home. Again, I say, ...I'm not going..to Florida..the storm will go there! Yep, the folks that headed out to the airport, came back shaking their heads. The airport in Florida..closed. Pretty quick, Miridia wasn't allowing people in, or out of the city. It was a crazy vacation. We did get a lot of rain when the hurricane passed along the coast across from us. Like I said, we were blessed. Photos after...the motel we had stayed in...partly gone on one end. The pool was literally filled with sand...most of those beautiful palm trees were down. Google..hurricane Wilma. Mexico.. Florida. It was huge.
 
We lived in Mississippi when Hurricane Florence came through...direct hit but it was only a Cat 1 so aside from the bayou we lived on flooding and alligators in our yard, plus two broken windows, it wasn’t too bad. Right on her heels was Hurricane Gilbert, which we were really sweating but it missed us, except for a few weak outer bands.

But before them, we had Tropical Storm Beryl, and that one about drove me crazy! Gautier, where we lived, was smack dab in the center. She came ashore, moving slowly, with unbelievable winds and rain. She bobbled to the west, approaching Louisiana, then bobbled east toward Florida. She did this a few times because the upper atmosphere was so unstable, and with us being right in the center, no matter which way she went we were still right in the thick of it. Louisiana would clear up while she headed to a Florida, then Florida would clear up while she headed back to Louisiana. That was a nightmare and it just went on and and on, day after day, while she tried to decide what she wanted to be and where she wanted to be.

I was just doing a bit of shopping. It hasn't reached full-on panic mode, but there is an undercurrent of anxiety in the stores; the bottled water and bread supplies have been thinned considerably. PTSD, maybe? There's still a chance that Dorian could slip between the east coast and Bermuda and just bring a little rain . . . we can hope, right?:fl
