Hi, gang! I'm back after the big blow. I have to say, it's a whole lot less scary going through a 'strong tropical storm" in the daylight hours than it is going through a Cat. 1 hurricane overnight! There were still some pretty tense moments, I'll tell you, but there was no damage to my house, no trees fell in the neighborhood, and although the lights flickered a few times, and went out completely for a second or two twice, my electrical service held up, as did my internet. Woohoo! My yard is a lake, though. No complaints, as that is the worst of nearly 18 hours of howling wind and torrential rain. I think we got over 8 inches of rain.
Tension has a way of making me lose my apetite, so although I tried to eat, it was a no go. Once the worst of the storm was past, I guess I relaxed because I fell asleep at my desk. Woke up to calm skies around 8:30 PM, and toddled off to bed.
I planned on going to work today, but found out that the boss had closed the shop until tomorrow. I already had to reschedule my clients on Saturday, and some of them were supposed to come in today. Oh, well...we all went through it together, so there is understanding.
I ventured into my tiny town, and the cops had the main road blocked off, right in front of Town Hall. Holy moly! There was an old oak tree down right beside the Hall, and it had to be a good 36" in diameter at the base. It snagged some power lines on the way down, so a repair crew was working on that.
I purposely didn't get any fresh veggies on my last shopping trip, because I didn't want them to spoil in the fridge if power was down for days. So I went to the grocery store, and saw a lot of empty shelves. No bread, no milk, very few veggies. I managed to get some celery, lettuce and 4 sad little tomatoes. I've been craving veggies!
Dinner tonight will be homemade hot wings, with celery and ranch dip.
Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week!
