All we can do is wait

And wait and watch endless Weather Channel reports most of the night. For awhile, I thought they'd never have a reporter north of North Carolina, but finally their person in Virginia Beach showed up. The Post ran the usual "I remember Agnes" story, which may prove apt. At least one report suggested Isabel may resemble Agnes in flooding terms when she blows through DC. That could be *bad* news, because we really really don't need the rain. Agnes dumped 11.5 inches of rain on Washington in 24 hours.

This is just weird. I'm used to worrying about other people during hurricanes, not me. I'm used to thinking good thoughts about friends and family in NOLA or Florida or occasionally South Carolina. And here I work in a nice ultra glassy government office building...

Agnes, Hazel; Isabel could be like one or the other. Neither would be good. Sigh.

Now, just how do you know [livejournal.com profile] wintersweet? I have known her for years, courtesy of Tamson House, the Charles de Lint e-mail list. Small world, eh? I'm guessing you know her via anime or manga.

Get over that nasty illness you've got!

It certainly wouldn't. Double sigh.

I bumped into [livejournal.com profile] wintersweet on a couple of library related communities and briefly the one for the "Read or Die" anime. Very small world.

*grumble, grouch on the illness* I'm trying! Mind willing, body still somewhere in la-la land.
