See you all soon! I'm off to Disney World! Let's hope my stomach cooperates. I'm still recovering from the stomach virus I had.

November is finally over. I repeat: November is finally over!

It seemed like the month that would never end. Between school, Thanksgiving (which I didn't even get to spend with my family this year), roofers, contractors, being sick *twice* and still not having a bedroom since the storm, it's finally over. Thank God.

I just have a few finals to take, and then I'm off to Orlando! After that, back to NJ to spend time with family for Christmas and New Years, which I'm very much looking forward to. Elly was supposed to go to Florida with me, but she just got a new job and will unfortunately have to miss it .

December is going to be a busy month. I wanted to do some cleaning up of this site (it's a mess behind the scenes. There's code all over the place), but I may have to wait until the new year. That being said, I'm looking forward to this month. I sure hope it's a good one!

Yep, I made Slingo Player of the Month! I did NOT expect this! A big thank you to the Slingo Staff and fellow players that made this possible.

As far as the house goes, not too much has changed. The roof still has tarps over it, but they are supposed to start work on the 14th (this coming Monday).

As for me, my classes have been going well, and I've been restoring an IBM ThinkPad T20 laptop back to full working order. I'm almost done and it works (I'm using it to write this!), but I need some new screw caps since the old ones lost their glue. I'll post pictures as soon as it's done. I also have a trip to Disney World in less than a month!

Now, it's late, so I'm off to bed.

Until next time,

P.S. To the people rioting because Trump won: You all look and sound like a bunch of little kids whining and destroying things because you didn't get your way. You can't always get what you want. You complain that Trump will "destroy America", yet that's exactly what you're doing right now. I am appalled at your behavior, and I am ashamed that we are of the same species.

I am VERY pleased that Hillary is not going to the White House! Best of luck to Donald Trump in the oval office. Let's make America great again!

Make America great again!

Well, I still don't have permanent access to the Internet at home because Frontier sucks (they keep driving past our house and slowing

down to look, but they won't actually get out to fix anything), so these pictures took a little bit longer for me to post than I would have

liked.

I present to you, the hurricane Matthew damage and cleanup:

The Ocean Galley restaurant here lost part of its sign and the parking lot was a bit flooded:

There's still a lot more that needs to be done around here, but it's a start. Some tarps were put on the roof yesterday to keep the rain and animals from coming in, and the landlord is getting estimates from contractors and roofers to repair the house. The damage looks pretty bad, but it sure could have been much worse...

I'll post more pictures and updates as they happen.

Until next time,
