My date had just kissed me goodbye. It was a quiet afternoon and the sky was getting a little gray.
I took a hot shower, ordered some dinner and watched “Fringe” online.
I was not sure if Ike would show up. I was somewhat prepared for him.
I am the type of lady who likes to pick and choose who she spends time with. Ike would be different. This was the only date I wish would no show on me.
For the first time in several months I allowed my cat to be in my bedroom. I fell alseep after watching “Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles”.
I later woke up to the sound of loud wind. I knew I needed to get away from the windows right away but first I had to look for Miss Kitty.
The lights had not yet gone out. I grabbed the kitty and ran into the closet. Even in there I could still hear the wind. I could feel the floor moving beneath me.
Thought of The Wizard Of Oz entered my head. Miss Kitty is no Toto and I am no Dorothy. Just have to stay calm and pray.
Atleast Toto had the sense to stick with Dorothy. Miss Kitty wanted to be in the window looking at the storm. Crazy cat!
I prayed until I fell asleep.
When I woke up there was peace and quiet. I could see sunlight peering through the window. I walked quietly to the door.
The only damage Ike had done was knock the fence down. There was no electricity but I did not care. I was alive.
