Good morning everyone! Once again, we survived the major thunderstorm that crossed our area last night.
I learned something about my alarm clock this morning after the power went off in the night. The battery back up saves everything but the radio station preset!
But I’m awake, dressed, and have coffee. Let’s get the day started!
Good morning! Happy Monday everyone! We survived the storms last night. Crystal got to see part of the lightshow last night. After hanging up with her, the lightshow continued. I know when I woke up about an hour later, it was still going on.
With the light show, there was some thunder, but it cooled down in the Flat pretty quickly, and I fell right to sleep.
But now it’s Monday, and it’s cooler in here, so I have my Sunday chores to do today. It’ll keep me busy this morning.
But first coffee and kitten snuggles.
Let’s go Monday!
Good morning party people! It’s a bright, sunny and hot hot hot morning already. All the blinds are down, and Pippin is annoyed that she can’t look out the back door. Reason – it’s closed to try and keep the heat at bay. I told her I’ll open it in a couple of hours.
We’re expecting a high in the low 90s today. Yep it’s hot for here, but again this is not an excuse to have an AC. There’s no point in them here. It’s literally hot here for like 2 weeks a year. Don’t be like my neighbour that’s one house down. Running her window AC, and I haven’t seen her car since Thursday.
So with all the heat, I’m not going to do my chores until tomorrow. I don’t feel like running the washer and dryer in this weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be about 10 degrees cooler. I’ll do it all tomorrow.
Yesterday, when I went to SlightlyBiggerTown, I was cut off due to a parade driving towards me down Main Street. I quickly turned off and came back to watch the parade. It was fun!
From there I want to a couple of stores and bought a suction cup bird feeder for the kitten, and then went for lunch, then off to do my drug deal. Ahh legal weed. Yay Canada! Then it was a quick trip to the grocery store where they didn’t have wings. That made me a little sad. After that back to the Flat to unpack everything.
All in all a good Saturday if you ask me!
Yep, it’s a hot one out there. And for some stupid reason, the ice cream place here is closed on Saturday’s. It boggles the mind.
Today I went to SlightlyBiggerTown, to do some grocery shopping, and of course to do a teensy tiny drug deal.
Since SlightlyBiggerTown is at least 30 minutes away, I can’t buy ice cream. I might go up to the gas station to see if they have power. But they’re probably closed by now.
So, I’ll sweat, and drink mostly cold water.
Happy summer!
BOOM SHAKA LAKA!
A huge-ass storm came through these parts last night/early this morning. I think it started around midnight. It started with the wind – that’s what woke me up. Blind on blind action. After I opened the blinds a little to let the wind through, that’s when the Metallica concert started.
CRASH BOOM!
It sounded like the storm was right over The Flat. It was so freaking loud, and scared the crap out of me. Pippin, on the other hand was on the cat tree watching the show. Not scared at all. This kitten doesn’t scare easy.
So with it being so loud, I closed the bedroom window in hopes that it would be a little quieter so I could get back to sleep. It did help a little, and just as I was about to fall asleep after the storm had passed, i could hear Pippin out in the living room, playing with her carrot!
So this morning, I roll over mostly awake. The alarm clock said 5:55. That’s awesome, i have a lot more time to sleep. Not so. I’m mostly wide awake, i go out to pee and feed the cat, i just out of curiosity, look at my phone. There’s a good morning greeting from Crystal, and it’s 7:35. There must have been just about enough of a brownout to ONLY affect the clock radio. The stove clock was fine. Haha!
So now I’m an hour behind where I should be, but I have coffee, and I should probably get dressed. Today is grocery shopping day! I’m gonna finish my coffee first though!
Happy Saturday my friends!
