For those wondering

I am in fact safe at home and ready for the storm, with plenty of food, at least several days' supply of necessities (laundry detergent, medication, etc.), plenty of blankets (afghans, actually), flashlight & a battery-powered radio in case the power goes out, a space heater and entertainment DVDs in case the power stays on, etc. Am too tired to type much now, but will try to post something tomorrow. In the meantime: Have a good weekend, everyone!
