I also rescheduled my acupuncture appointment from Friday to Saturday, when the storm should be over. We all know what happened last week when I was traipsing around in the rain trying to find my car. The tow was only indirectly related to the rain, but still.

There was one winter when LA had LOTS of flooding. It was sometime in the 1970s. BK? Jane? Chas? Heavy rain every day for about two weeks, IIRC.

Bruce, the jacuzzi might help you. Also, the Arnica. And ice. (Not at the same time.) Hope you're 100% asap.

TTFN.

I can't help but envision huge flooding. For all those who say that'll never happen, all I can say is, "Ever been through a hurricane?" I know many of you have been through one. I hope it's not bad here, but nevertheless I've moved some files and such away from the most vulnerable areas of my kitchen.

Good idea.

Landslides are a big concern for some of those hillside homes.

I mostly remember the gully behind Castle Heights Elementary school overflowing. My mother, knowing that was the day it would happen, kept me home from school figuring I wouldn't be there long. I'm kind of sorry I missed the action. I recall standing at the back fence for a couple of days watching the water rise. Years ago a street was put in above the gully.

I just read there is a flood advisory warning in our region until 7:45.

And on that note (C#), I'm going to the theater for tonight's $5 preview. My sister's boyfriend said that he'd come, so we'll have at least 1 person in the audience.

Until later.

DR Vixmom & DR TCB how are you feeling this evening?

Hello all

vixmom · « **Reply #134 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:29:41 PM »

Glad to hear Bruce's fall was not worse

Grant did another pass, justified the right side text, did the em dashes and resent, so I'm printing that out at Staples and will spend the evening proofing - that way tomorrow we can pretty much put this to bed save for one final proofing. I want to have a bit more fun with the chapter headings and titles so I'm bringing about seven books I picked from my book room that do unconventional things with the chapter headings.

I went back to work today

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:31:07 PM »

And there was great rejoicing

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:31:40 PM »

I should have been this popular in high school

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:32:18 PM »

But everyone was very kind, kept me away from the phones and mainly turned to me for advice and guidance

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:32:58 PM »

Nonetheless I was exhausted and was the first one out of the office at 5:30

vixmom · « **Reply #141 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:36:18 PM »

I was home by 6 and by 6:30 I was showered , in my pjs and eating my dinner

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** February 16, 2017, 06:37:12 PM »

I had a little doze and now I am enjoying a hot cuppa with honey and lemon

I've told Alexa (the voice service that powers Echo) to set an alarm for 7:45. I am curious if the rain, which shows no signs of letting up, will truly stop then as predicted.
