Zerbey's Journal: September 27th, 2004

Three hurricanes! I'm getting pretty tired of being hit by them! Maybe God is trying to tell us Floridians something? (Message received, we know you're great and powerful... please stop showing us!)

Charley knocked out the power for 7 days, Frances for 8 days. Jeanne was only 24 hours thankfully. My worst fear that Jeanne would cause even more roof damage was not realised because luckily she went further south than planned. I did get to spend the day watching the wooden straps holding my tarps down fly off the roof one by one, but enough stayed nailed down to to keep the tarp in place and prevent my roof leaking.

So, we take the boards down once more, clean up the mess again and thank our lucky stars we made it through another one. Hopefully, this'll be the last one for a while.

In other fun news, I drank far far too much last night and am really suffering as a result. I'll never drink again! :-) (yeah, right!).

The two teeth that have been driving me crazy and ruining one of my favourite activities (eating) are finally gone, pulled out by my very nice dentist. Having toothache on either side of your mouth is no picnic :-( I've learned my lesson that not visiting a dentist for 8 years is not a smart thing to do.

I will be visiting my parents this week, so two weeks in England. First time I've been back to my home country in 4 years so I'm really excited. Proper chips! With salt and vinegar! And curry sauce! From Tates!
