Hello everyone!
Today I was honored with the request for me to become an Ambassador for Arthritis, and I said yes.
Sounds important, huh?
It was created by the Arthritis Foundation to establish contacts between important members of Congress and the constituents, who care the most and know the most about arthritis, and that's me, so I've been told! My recruiter letter was from the main office in Florida and a woman who is in D.C. and the one in charge of the Arthritis Foundation Ambassadors.
I suppose it could be considered a very important job, but it is strictly a volunteer position, and entails very little actual time involvement a one hour conference call a month for briefings from the staff in Washington D.C., and a monthly advocacy assignment of one hour that helps build recognition.
My immediate thought is why don't more people do this? They really should.
After this month I will be able to tell you more. So far I am excited and praying that I don't let anyone down.
This was all a very positive and welcomed distraction from our weather situation.
Updates: Tropical Storm Hanna is hugging the east coast from the Carolinas all the way to New England with a lot of rain, winds in the 65-75 MPH range with much higher gusts; tidal surge is in their concern, as well as flash flooding.
Hurricane Ike is a monster still out in the Atlantic, but heading towards our Florida west coast, and is predicted to be a Category 4 with 135 MPH winds by then Tuesday through Wednesday afternoon. We are preparing for the worst even our local meteorologist is shuttering up his home this weekend. By Monday we will be informed on whether they will be evacuating any of us. My fear is to where???
The majority of the state is in the cone of uncertainty!
My anxiety is extremely high... wind shear is our only hope for the likes of Ike to be diminished. He is suffering a minimal amount now. I want him to suffer more.
What exactly is wind shear?
Hmm...Wind shear is the change in wind speed or direction with height in the atmosphere. Okay, now that was perfectly clear. All I really care about is that Ike gets a massive dose of it!
Stay tuned we will be in hyper mode for this info all weekend!
Good night to all, sleep tight while you can, and so will I.
