 For the family at home, here is a play by play of what happens when we get coastal flooding. The alarm went off at 7:30am this morning. 8:00am I took a walk outside to see the puddling in the street and the crashing waves that were just about at the sea wall. High tide was at 9:30 am. Full moon today. Winter solstice and a rain storm coming up the coast.
We have lived here since June of this year and this has happened a few times since we moved in, but normally the water takes its sweet time to flood. This one hit fast. Real fast. By 8:39am, our whole street was flooded. We rushed to get the vehicles moved and then had to walk through the water back to our house.  8:46 am this morning, this video shows the water now just peaking over both sides of the sea wall. 9:11 am this morning from my porch... we're not going anywhere at this point. This is what my backyard looks like and wow it is doing some strange bubbling... no idea what that is all about... 10:52 am - Here are some photos from my front porch. I see a propane tank floating and my neighbors mailboxes are just about covered. 2:00 pm -The water seems to be receding a bit - you can see the water line on my backyard fence where it hit the highest point. It is still raining out though and now the flood warning is extended until Sunday so I'm not sure what to think...

Again, let's tallk about mother figures. I sometimes wish I grew up with a mother figure. I grew up with my mom but I sometimes think she is really far from a mother figure. I mean she is a good teacher. She does that by profession. I just don't understand why can't she be just like any other mother who will keep telling her son that he is handsome or that he is smart and likeable or girlfriend-able. Mothers should be like that even a little, don't you agree? 7/31/2019 08:34:22 pm
I think now is the time to start taking care of myself. Well I can't afford those facial creams as of the moment so I don't think this is going to work. I also don't trust advice columns because I feel they are all just trying to sell overpriced creams and lotions with placebo effect. It's frustrating. I wish I know what to do. All I wanted is a little free time so I can pamper myself a little but unfortunately I really don't have any of that. This is why I feel alone. No one is helping me with my daily errands. It's really frustrating. 9/29/2019 11:47:55 pm
They say that there is one way to tell if the job in front of you is actually your occupational duty for this lifetime. If you acquired your skills without any effort or expenditures as if it was your birth right, then there's a good chance that what you do is what you are tasked by the universe to fulfil. It is considered a sin if this business or hobby will not be pursued. It's almost as if you are paying whoever paid for you to learn all these skills a little faster than others. Do you know what is your occupational duty? 8/23/2023 10:26:26 pm
These choices reflect a growing consciousness about the planet. Women's cosmetics are not just about outward appearance; they also reflect an ethical stance and a desire to make responsible choices for both personal well-being and the environment. Leave a Reply. |
AuthorI moved to the Point Beach neighborhood in Milford, Connecticut in June of 2018 - these are my experiences of owning a new beach home and relocating to unfamiliar territory. ~ Shelly Straub Categories
