C\’mon, Sally! Let\’s get it over with! Decide where to make landfall and get ashore, so we can get it over with! We\’re all tired of gnawing on our fingernails while you keep us in suspense. Said suspense isn\’t so good for our heart rates, either.

Hurricane Sally is still drifting NW, so it looks like New Orleans is still in the crosshairs. The forecasts for tropical storm conditions are no longer in effect here, but you never know. We can\’t let down our guard just yet.

My workplace is closed today. That\’s fine with me. I slept a few hours later; I went to the drug store for #2032 batteries; and I could go about my carb-watching work in more leisurely fashion. I\’m getting weary of staying indoors, so after a while I think I\’ll set up the trainer and do some pedaling.

Why don\’t I go ride outside if I\’m tired of sitting around inside? The wind is 20 mph, which is very strong for me. Chances of rain are 70%. I feel tired, besides. That happens often now. Is my reduced-carb diet to blame?

The forecast shows plenty of rainy weather ahead, hurricane or no. I hope Saturday morning is OK. I need to go to the (non-salvage) store and buy veggies!
