I am asking for a change.

We have a hurricane coming.  I hate this type of weather.  My life and my home is based on electronics working.  If my electronics do not work,  I am basically screwed.  I have no way to get to a shelter.  I also hate to leave the 4 legged children.  I do have peanut butter and some other food to eat in the event that I am unable to cook.  I may be without computer access for several days so If you do not hear from me for three or so days do not panic I am OK. After 5 days if I have not posted a blog contact theEpilepsy Association of the Eastern Shore.  They can tell anyone if I am OK or check on me if I cannot be reached.  We should do what they do in the Carribean.  In St Croix they have hurricane prayers.  Obviously the Caribbean Islands get hurricanes all the time.  Sometimes the prayers work, sometimes not but it can't hurt.

Emergency or disaster relief is a big deal for anyone but it's huge for some people with disabilities.  Everybody really does need to have a disaster kit.  The kit should contain water, food that does not need to be cooked, basic first aid stuff, and medicine you need at the least.  After that I would recommend flashlights and batteries, a pillow and blanket and anything you need to keep you entertained. Preferably not games that need charging or electricity.  If you need to evacuate please know pets cannot be taken to shelters with you.  If you need to leave your home leave enough food and water for a few days.  Tell someone that you trust know your leaving.  If you have a friend or family member that is able to, have them stop by your home and refill food containers.  Canned tuna or chicken can be used to feed cats and dogs if you run out of pet food.  (Just make sure you have enough for yourself)  Know that you will be uncomfortable for a few days or so but it will pass. 

I would be better off if I had a generator.  I really would like one but you can see that the price is a hefty one.  I sure hope the storm changes course. 

On a good note,  I am getting more enquiries about AVON.  I hope they lead to sales. Start the hurricane prayer.  Be careful and take care.
