Mama Duck is officially on route to NYC! I’m going on a blog hiatus for her trip so I can spend as much time with her as possible, and my laptop hard drive is conveniently having issues and I can’t upload photos.. Talk to you next week!

My little world is back to normal in the city. My condolences go out to all of those that lost loved ones, property, or are still dealing with the effects of the storm. 

In the city, the MTA, trains and buses are up and back to running normal. The only thing that was out of the ordinary for me this week is that 7/11 still isn’t getting their shipments and they haven’t had egg mcmuffins in the morning. 

Now my world has shifted to preparing for Mama Duck’s arrival on Thursday night! I’m SO excited I can hardly contain myself. I’m even doing a good job of keeping my room clean! Anyone who has lived with me knows my weakness of keeping my room clean… but it’s clean! Next, laundry and cleaning the rest of the apartment so it is all ready for her arrival. Even little Scootie is getting a bath! Finally laying out our schedule.. I’ve got a list of everywhere I want to go so now I just need to pick some days so that we can fit everything in. 

Very very excited!

The storm has passed by and we are all a-okay! New York ended up getting pretty lucky in the end. Besides some flooding and down trees the city should be fine! We didn’t even lose power at our apartment so that was good! I have officially survived the record-breaking earthquake and hurricane in the same week. Success! I think it was partly because of our Fort Irene.
