It's been a crazy morning here in Maryland. Tornado sirens are not something that we hear as a matter of course so naturally when they start going off it is necessary to take action.
We have always been told to have an emergency kit put together in case of inclement weather. As the sirens went off this morning, I was fully prepared.
I grabbed my briefcase stuffed with files that had titles I needed to review, my cell phone which enables me to have a "wireless hot spot" and my nook color so that I could communicate with my office via cell and via e-mail, and a carafe of coffee.
I DID NOT grab:
bottled water
necessary medication
a first aid kit
dried fruits, cereal or any other source of nutrition or any thing else that you are told to grab before you take shelter.
I had a singular focus this morning as month end comes to a close. I have files that need to close and I need to make sure they get to closing on time.
I may need to rethink my priorities.
