September

“August was smoking hot, then September walked in as cool as a cucumber, and made her presence felt.” ― Charmaine J Forde
What are your plans for September, how do you intend to make your presence felt?

This question made me chuckle. At my age, I live life as it comes. I just don't make any plans or try to make my presence felt. As to this coming September, on a personal level, it may be a time of heightened vigilance and unease due to September being maybe the most active hurricane month in Florida, although October tags behind it rather closely.

As the threat of hurricanes loom large, I try to think of ways to get ready for their devastation, should one hit my area. My first concern is finding someone to put up my shutters and then take them down when the storm goes away. I can't do it myself anymore, since I got too old. The rest, I can probably live through.

Something else that is also very important is the birthday week of Writing.com. I can only do stuff for celebration in connection with other friends, provided that they understand I may not be available if a hurricane strikes my area. "That hurricane fear again!" you might think. Yes, it is a reality, believe me! Luckily, Sr, mods are doing the Mod-o-Poly thing once more and I'll have backups, should bad enough comes to worst.

As to September itself, the gemstone for September is blue sapphire, and my ring with the blue sapphire, which has a deep meaning for me, I never take off. I wrote this tiny info here to say another something positive about September, in addition to WdC's b'day.
