This weekend, there is a Disaster Preparedness gathering for families in our state. Since one of my books is entitled Rational Preparedness: A Primer to Preparedness, I was supposed to attend and answer questions on different aspects of family preparedness. I was looking forward to it. I don't have a lot of books to autograph and sell, but it might prompt people to get on Amazon.com, where they can buy the book most cheaply anyway, and it will help people. In addition, any networking at all is a positive thing from a standpoint of selling books, or being a part of other promotional activities in the future.
Unfortunately, despite the flu shot I got this year, I am down with a terrible flu. It's the same one that felled our son at college, who brought it home at about the same time my husband did. Everyone had it, and I was bragging at how the flu shot had apparently protected me from it, when the first signs of a scratchy throat began. The doctor says there is nothing she can do, and that it falls squarely "under the viral umbrella". They say that influenza gathers strength from each person it afflicts, and from my standpoint, this seems to be true. So, rather than talking non-stop this weekend about first aid kits, sheltering-in-place versus family evacuation, document evacuation bags, special needs evacuations etc. I will be home drinking hot lemon. Best regards to all of you who are home doing the same.
