The Mistress is back at the Casa du Borghese and can say she came through the hurricane safe!!!! Thanks to all who sent text messages, especially to Joy who even managed to make me laugh, sent emails, which I just got tonight, and the phone calls who have the top secret number, and to all the lovely comments,it truly meant alot and I love you all for it. The storm was very scary on Monday, as the rain started and the winds got up to 90mph, right through the night and next morning. Power went out on Monday night around 9pm, and just came back on tonight, when I arrived home!!! I wasn't to come on till the weeks end! And it got cold fast. I even slept in three layer of clothes, which was hard for me, since I like sleeping au natural! For a time, I really didn't think my place was going to make it. But all made it, and glad it's over. I head back to work tomorrow after being out all last week, but I hear New Jersey is still quite a mess.
When the power went out it was pretty much up to this...all over the Casa......
From Monday till Wednesday there wasn't much to do except...........
Tuesday after the haze wore off, I made my way to the outside to see some of the damages.....and there was plenty on my grounds here. It took a crane to remove the tree that hit our building. A 70 foot spruce. And you can really see the size of the tree compared to the tree trimmers. Yikes. It was scary as hell. When the tree fell on Monday night, it shook the whole building. It took a crane to remove part of it. The neighbors in the units beside me will have to vacate for two weeks as it made structural damages. Meanwhile, I packed up and headed to my ever faithful ancestral home till tonight, couldn't do another cold night at the Casa.
My thoughts on Governor Christie.....
While not a New Jersey resident, and being with the ex Boy-Toy of 12 years who was in politics, I saw and heard of all the backstabbing in politics that go on. When we split, quite frankly, I was so burnt out of it all, and both sides squabbing. Now up to this point, I was never a fan of the Jersey Governor, probably even made some wise cracks or 10 about him, but watching him and the President work together, side by side, with no aisle of R's or D's, was extremely refreshing. I was wishing this was more common place. And Christie was swift to take action and was quite astounding to watch as he is really getting results in New Jersey fast. I was proud of both of them. I wish I could say the same of the Pennsylvania Governor and the Bucks County Dilettantes,I mean GOP!!!
Now here I am sitting nervous again, and waiting with baited breath for Obama to win on Tuesday. And if Romney wins.....well, there is going to be alot more of this.....
.....and I'm talking to the Amy Winehouse proportions!!!!!
