Sandy week

School is now suspended for the rest of the week and Jojo will be working from home as well the whole week. The problem with school is, they only have 3 emergency days allotted so since they've used it up already plus 2 more days for the week, that means their spring break will probably be 2 days shorter. Let's hope there won't be emergency snow days in winter, otherwise they might not have spring break at all :(

Sandy Day 2

We lost power around 10:30 last night and only now - 3:43pm - was it restored. School called to say it's still suspended tomorrow. Not sure about Jojo's work. He couldn't work from home today coz we didn't have power. If the trains are still suspended tomorrow then he needs to WFH again.

Good thing our stove top is gas and not electric coils so we were able to cook. For the first time in years I had to cook rice manually! Thank goodness it didn't burn =P we were also able to boil water for Jojo's coffee.

So what did we do today? Games! We played sungka, chess, checkers and air hockey. We also had some reading done.

Thankfully nothing bad happened in our neighborhood, the house is intact, everything in the backyard is secure. Raven didn't mind the storm one bit :)

So that's our frankenstorm experience. I hope the others affected by the storm are coping well.

Sandy

Frankenstorm Sandy is arriving today. The winds are picking up and we had some rain this morning. School is suspended today and tomorrow and Jojo is working from home today, maybe even tomorrow since trains are suspended as well.
We're hoping it won't as bad here in our area but we're prepared. Hopefully there won't be any power cuts or water shortages. Stay safe east coasters!

Boo!
