For the second year in a row, we've had a major storm a few days before Halloween. Last year, we had a Nor'easter dump about a foot of snow on us. The one and only snow day that was used was on Halloween. This year, a huge hurricane/nor'easter came roaring through yesterday. We were on the eastern side of it, so we "just" got high winds and the Hudson flooded, worse than it's ever flooded, the low lying areas. Since we are about 200 feet higher than the Hudson, we weren't affected, but NYC was swamped. We did get a lot of very high winds and lost power for a few hours. And schools have been closed for the past 2 days. Our school board, in their infinite wisdom, only built 4 emergency days into the calendar. Well, we only used one last year. . . yeah, we live in New York. Last winter was a freak winter. Let's just say, it's only half way through fall, and we've already burned through 2 emergency days. But that is one of the few advantages of being a sub, I don't have to be there if we don't have a spring break!
Okay, enough about the weather. Last Friday, I weighed in at 190 - even. That means that I've lost 60, yes SIXTY pounds, since last July. Granted, I still have a long way to go, but in 10 pounds, I will no longer be obese! How exciting is that?? My knees are really giving me issues, and I can't imagine how bad they would be if I hadn't lost this weight. It's also nice to be able to walk into a store and buy clothing in the REGULAR sizes. Yes, I have to try everything on, but still, REGULAR sizes.
So, we survived the Frankenstorm of 2012. I hope everyone else in it's path fared as well. Oh yeah, Happy Halloween!
