We're still here. It is still raining, still windy and still gray. The rain varies from light to heavy. I have not been able to find a total count on the rainfall so far. I suspect the weather forecasters have given up and gone into hiding at this point. Although there are quite a few of them being shown on TV updates standing out in flood water. They're saying profound things like, "It's really wet out here, folks!". I'm sorry, if you don't already know that, you're pretty un-smart. (I try not to call anyone dumb or stupid. That gets really, really hard sometimes.) :)
The winds are heavy today and up to 40 mph. There will be some major yard clean-up going on around here when the rain is finished and things dry out enough for us to actually walk out in the yard. It's going to be a big bags and long-handled grabbers kind of project.
Even though Joaquin is out over the ocean, he's causing many problems. The aforementioned wind, high waves and surf. All causing tidal flooding and beach erosion. Since the ground is saturated, there is nowhere for the water to go and other waterways are flooding. The "count" for that is at least as high as with "Sandy" a few years ago.
I've been productive today. All the usual "stuff" was done and I got all the laundry done, too. Also cleaned the floors. Golfer had three pairs of slacks that needed hemming and I got those marked and done. Cleaned up the kitchen a couple times. It's almost time to mess it up again fixing supper.
The Sunday paper was totally soggy and worthless this morning. They were supposed to deliver another one, but nothing yet. I just checked their automated system and that said it will come tomorrow morning. We'll see how that works out. It's supposed to still be raining.
So that's how it is. Thank goodness there are some new shows on tonight!
Stay safe!
