Man, was it a wild-eyed storm tonight! I was looking out the patio door and seeing the rain coming down in sheets. The wind was bending the trees and the sky was dark. All of a sudden. I got to thinking that I'm sure glad I'm saved. In case there's a tornado sneaking up on me, I got nothing to worry about. Especially since I have no basement. I do have a crawl space, but I'd rather be sucked up in the vortex of a twister than share time under my house with all them spiders. It's just not healthy. Anyway, I'm living to tell about it with no damage to life or limb. My trees are blowed bare, but I can deal. We didn't lose power, but I had the emergency candles out and the "flic your bic" lighter on stand-bye. The main disappointment in something like this is that I lost my satellite signal. Shoot fire! If I didn't have Twitter and Facebook and my macbook, I'd of gone bughouse with no Direct Tv. I did miss the newest episode of "The Little Couple". I was NOT happy. It couldn't even be recorded. Now what'll I watch tomorrow night?
Anyhoo, I'm not sure what I'll see when the sun comes up in the morning. Probably a lake in the back yard. If so, Mike'll be miffed (that's putting it kindly) that he'll have to spend a good part of his day pumping it out to the street. Which ticks off the next door neighbors. Boo hoo. My heart bleeds. They're not the ones under water here.
Ok, folks. I'm hitting the sack. My extra strength "Five Hour Energy" is wearing off, but I got my money's worth cause it lasted for 9 hours. (That's some good stuff if you tend to fall asleep driving in broad daylight, like I do). I'm gonna drag my sorry butt to bed, put in my earbuds, and listen to wind or rain or heaven knows what that's on my iPhone app to help me fall asleep. Or maybe I could leave them out and listen to the real thing. Yeah..that's it. G'nite folks. Zzzzzzzzzz.
