  5. The problem with buying the big CK box is that you always think that three is always going to be more CK when you go shopping., you don’t buy new CK 8/18 The first day of school went well. After a summer off it takes time to get into the rhythm and routine of full time teaching and Fay is messing with that rhythm. Already devastating off course of that routine, I went to Wal-Mart for Fay expect 3 days of supplies our Gov. suggest. Buy water, PBJ a fun pack of Doritos. No time to diet during disaster. Good excuse to get the battery powered IPod dock with AMFM radio. Nice seeing Camiel and Kelsey at Wal-Mart. no sense of panic or desperation buying like real hurricanes. Enjoyed Gossip Girl and looking forward to the new season will there be any students interested in discussions like my first period last year. Fay is moving North East on its way to Brevard. I can hear the rain and wind pick up. No School Tomorrow the scroll on the TV just announced!!! 8/19 Tuesday woke up 7:33 to rain and wind. I love it Trooper wants to go out. Stay home clam chowder soup judge Judy and the judge shows Rain all day 8/20 - Enjoying the Olympics. Last night power went off for about two hours listened to radio political Jim Bohannen Seti then some nut tieing ghosts to 2112 Prophecy. A curfew went into affect this evening. Looters have been arrested. 8/21: Wind and rain caused water to leak through door out of captain crunch. Getting tired of walking dog in rain. Trooper loves I just get wet. Went through many towels drying off trooper after each rain. 8/25 Saturday the storm has passed occasional bands coming through sunshine is peaking out. Very Humid.
