rain in manhattan

Was supposed to be picked up at 10 this morning, but I overslept. Between having to eat breakfast, having to take a breathing treatment and packing last minute things I need a couple of hours before I can leave. It was okay. I still got to the island for a beautiful day.

Hurricane Hermine is threatening. The reports are coming in and it may spoil the weekend. Our rain date for the cookout is Sunday—hope the rain holds up. The very idea of a storm is keeping people from buying tickets ahead of time.

Did a lot of CareCard prep this evening. Have to be at the table to sell tickets at 9:00 – time to sleep.
