It is now pitch black outside and quite a lot of wind. Fortunately for me, I was just looking at the radar, and it appears the bulk of the storm passed us by to the northwest and is continuing to track northeast now. I expect we'll still get some heavy rain and more wind, but I think we dodged the brunt of the storm. Minor victories are all I'm looking for today. Yes, I'm still at work and have been too busy to call the doctor. I feel okay other than my throat, and I can't tell if that's getting worse or not. I think I'm going to skip poker tonight though and take it easy at home. Some soup and tea perhaps. I have a mandatory all hands meeting for work in the morning, so if I feel crappy still when I get up tomorrow, I'll call and schedule an appointment before I leave for after that meeting. Whee...
