Rumors that I had a heart attack are completely false. I am alive and healthy.

Latest report is that the power might be back on by tonight, and the electrical repair crewmen are cute.
Good Morning. Above ground is better than below ……. May you and yours have a great day !!
Actually, it’s that we humans are so picky. The Princess never complains about the weather. She doesn’t *love* getting toweled off when we come in from the rain, but she never complains.
I was talking to someone from England in a zoom meetup and he said in England you’re not allowed to talk about the weather without complaining.
w00t!
Thank you.
Hiya, finally, from Arkansas!
While I was at the library with my friend and her two grandkids, the power was restored.
All those, sweaty muscular bodies in the cherry pickers did a fine job, besides being very easy on the eyes! I could have watched them all day, but the drool was making my shirt wet.
The computer doesn’t recognize that we have power, so I’m using my phone as a hotspot, but I’ll be heading for bed soon, so all is well. I’ll work with it in the morning when I’m not so ga-ga from being without power for so long.
It was nice, actually, in a way, because I was warm for the first time since I moved here!
As for losing food, yep, everything in the fridge and freezer is a total loss. But that’s OK, because I would have had to find some way to get rid of it before I left anyway.
Cold showers in the summer are much better than cold showers in the winter!
One knows who one’s friends are and who can be counted on in time of need.
So my schedule was upended for a while, but that’s OK. The street is still closed behind us because of the tree that fell when the wind blew at 70+ mph that knocked down two power poles at the edge of the property, both of which had transformers. The poles, tree and power lines were all in our yard and Mona’s apartment just missed getting hit.
My FD in CO got online and ordered some batteries for my portable fan, and was going to order ice, but there hasn’t been a bag of ice in Dog Patch since Sunday evening when the storm hit. So to make up for it, she added some Teddy Grahams!
FS and his PW stayed in a hotel in Little Rock and on the second day, they asked me if I wanted to join them. I didn’t know they were apart, so I told them I was finally warm, so no thanks!
That’s my story folks, and I’m stickin’ to it!
I’ll have a warm bed tonight and light to see how I’m sorting my pills tomorrow. UPS delivered the supplements much earlier than expected and the delivery person was Umm
So now that I’ve given you the highlights, you can ask me anything you want about it.
I’ll take earthquakes any day, thanks.
‘Face
;o])
But what about Hurricanes?
I’m glad the power is back and you had some scenic views plus a trip to the library. Too bad about the food, but you can get more, and nothing worse happened, and you didn’t have to stay in a hotel in Little Rock, where you probably would have been cold.
I just have to deal with snow and earthquakes in Hurricane!
I would have frozen in a hotel, I’m sure because this is AR — Humidity Central!
I’ll order some food for tomorrow delivery, before I get off here, but it won’t be much and it won’t be sitting around for eons, getting freezer burn and Science Project status. I’m good. My back resents not having heat all those nights, but with luck, it will begin to improve. Soon.
Dang I’ve missed my FRiends!!
Glad y’all are intact! xoxo
A sweet little floof to greet the day!
Good morning. I hope you had a good night, and that Jake wasn’t too obnoxious.
I don’t know if I even moved all night, and I’m now wishing I had. I’m going to have to do some exercises I learned long ago if I’m going to get any packing done.
I don’t think the A/C shut off all night. It cycled off once since I got up and that wasn’t even for a minute.
Things are somewhat back to normal, I think!
The Wi-Fi router doesn’t know it’s supposed to be back in business, so I’m using my phone again. This state is probably one of the worst I’ve ever lived in, and why my FS seems to think it’s so great is beyond me.
Thanks, Sg! Good to see you again! Were you without power, too?
I know it was pretty widespread across a couple of states.
That is great that your power has been restored! Maybe now, things there will stay calm until your departure... 🤞🏻
*sh-h-h-h-h!*
:whispers: (Don’t say that! Just think it!!)
I slept a little later than usual. Jake mostly ignores me at night. I guess he’s happy with the sofa.
I’m helping at Debate Camp today. Need to make a lunch and take a shower.
Glad to hear you’re no worse for wear, ‘Face. Tornados are just not fun. But, as I said in a post you probably missed, you’re a trooper. I wasn’t worried as soon as I knew you weren’t hurt.
Maybe you’d prefer an earthquake, but we’ll hope you don’t get to make a comparison any time soon.
Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
The Princess is going to an internist (dogs have internists) to see about her liver. She thinks I forgot to feed her. Do they really need a dog to fast to take bloodwork?
The Wordle whipsaw continues. From 1 to 5 to 3.

Good for you sleeping in!
So Jake only wants you when its naptime, eh? Silly cat.
Debate Camp sounds fun! Enjoy yourself!
See you when you get back!
Best wishes to the Princess. It’s hard to make pets understand anything.
