Shore property owners should secure their homes in advance of the weekend storm.
Deck furniture, gas grills, flags, wind chimes, hanging plants,  and trash cans  are all potentially dangerous flying objects!
Also, be sure to close and LOCK all windows and doors. Casement type windows (that crank open/close ) especially- I’ve seen them vibrate open from high winds, Â and then break.
If you will be here during the storm, pay attention to the tide schedule to come and go from the island. Â It’s not unusual for the access roads and bridges to be closed due to flooding around high tide.
Use caution with parking your car in the street. A driveway offers better elevation from flooding and protects your vehicle from items blowing around (see trash can reference above!)
Will post updates here and on Twitter all weekend.
It’s been a LONG 3 ½ weeks.
A back injury forced me into survival mode: focusing only on pain management, functioning at work, and now physical therapy.
Extra-curricular activities such as walking on the beach and kayaking are definitely on hold 🙁
And because sitting is uncomfortable, going out to eat is not possible (a SERIOUS problem for someone who does not like to cook!)
One of my sisters works for Staples and ordered me a stand up desk- a practical addition to my office.
Looking forward to getting back on track with blog posts and tweets as I continue to improve!
Fall Vacation
Local residents understand and appreciate the perks of living “at the shore”.
For those of us working in tourist related industries, the summer is also our busiest time of the year.
The arrival of fall means it’s our turn for vacation!
I work with 2 proud Canadians…so my husband and I are heading north to see what all of the fuss is about 😉
Our travel is purposely planned to only miss one weekend of work (October 1st/2nd).  I will be back in the office  Saturday morning, October 8th (Columbus Day weekend).
Will post a few pictures of our adventures on Twitter…
