Hurricane Day!

So due to Hurricane Sandy my office is closed today and tomorrow which basically means I get to stay home, be warm, and watch netflix/read all day! Well, except for the list of work stuff which was e-mailed to me explaining a bunch of things they want me to work on from home. Luckily I don't expect these tasks to require too much of my time because some of them I did in the office on Friday. I guess I am just a harder worker than they thought. Since I have already started on the list this morning I put together a stew in the crockpot and I am in the process of baking bread. I have been looking forward to making bread for the last while but didn't have time until today. I really hope it turns out ok. The worst thing which could happen is for the power to go out before the stew is cooked and the bread is baked. I am not really worried though because so far it it raining outside but other than that it really isn't bad at all. There isn't even any wind. The metro is closed until further notice so everyone in our house is at home today. Our weekends seem to get busy and we have not yet had one where we just sit around home. Today is our opportunity to finally relax for a full day without leaving the house. Although a few of them did run to Giant (the grocery store) this morning because we discovered we are going to be out of toilet paper soon and none of us want that. They said that the store was completely sold out of milk and eggs. We have flashlights and lots of food so we aren't worried and I think that a few of us (myself included) are excited to see how bad this storm can get!
