Well! Another new low. Here's the weird thing. Yesterday, I ate twice, AND had spaghetti (shrimp scampi) for dinner. And the weigh-in today, instead of being first thing in the morning, was after being at work briefly, and grocery shopping. Kes CAN eat wheat??? So I haven't had anything to eat today (5 PM now, 26 hours from yesterday's dinner), and while there's an empty feeling in my belly, I don't find anything appetizing, so I may just fast through the night. A good friend brought me a 3 lb. slab of pork belly and 2 bags of dried hibiscus flowers (great tea!). So now I have to decide what to do with the pork. There are some AMAZING recipes for the belly meat, but I remember being at my grandparents' farm and having 'sow-belly' bacon for breakfast. Basically, uncured streaky bacon... YUM! Whatever I decide, there will be cracklings! Keeping an eye on hurricane Irma...it's still unknown what direction it will take. I bought a portable litter box and small cat food containers in case I have to get my fur babies out of danger. For myself, I've been a prepper since 2012, and I have plenty of preps. At home, I could last about a year with no groceries. If I have to bug out, I have plenty to choose from. I also have 3 alternative cooking methods, at least 3 lighting methods, and as long as my car doesn't get flooded out, a way to keep my phone charged. I have a huge, round Jacuzzi tub in my master bath, which should hold about 100 gallons of potable water. I also have 4, 10 gallon jugs I can fill. Clean water: covered! I've had offers of shelter in the mountains of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. All viable options, except for the cats. If it's going to make landfall as a CAT3 or less, I will stay here. Anything higher (or closer), I will head north and west with the cats. I can ride it out in my car if I have to. I have a full tank of gas, plus a 5 gallon jug in reserve. Traffic heading north out of Florida has been heavy-ish on the Interstate already, so I will stick to back roads if I do scram. So yeah, I'm skinny, prepared, and alert. *smirk* Still, any good thoughts, wishes and prayers are appreciated! Wishing all my buddies and followers peace and and success. ~Kes
