How I plan to stop the Blizzard
Posted By Kathleen David on December 18, 2009
There is a possibility of a blizzard heading for my part of Long Island. It could be something or it could be nothing. Here is how I am going to make sure it is nothing.
1. I am going to the library and return the books that I was planning to return Sunday (their due date) so I don’t have any overdue books around the house.
2. I am going to buy a cover for the air conditioning unit to make it snug for the winter. I know where I can get one so that’s a done deal.
3. I am going to go to the grocery store and get those things that you always get before a storm including brownie mix. I was going anyway today so I am not really adding to my day.
4. I am going to move one of the snow shovels to inside the house so we have access to it
5. I am cancelling plans to get together with a friend on Sunday. This was by mutual agreement because their weekend got packed with stuff too.
6. I am going to go around the property and make sure I don’t have anything that could get blown around in a high wind. I am going to secure the garbage cans and double check the lights.
7. I am going to find our hats, gloves, scarf, and snow boots.
If we are already for it, it will not come. I have done this for a couple of years now and the only time we got hit was when I blew off getting ready for the storm.
I am grateful for silly plans that make me feel a little more in control.
