Back in the groove

Not much to report today. We still have power. Wooo hooo! This probably doesn’t seem like news to those of you who don’t lose power all the time. But for those of us who do, this is major.

Wine Whine

Oooooooo. I have cobwebs in my head. You know, that kind of mucky feeling you have the day after you drink too much wine? Not so much hungover, or headachy, or anything like that. Just like I’m running a little slower today than normal. Head feels a little thick.

Gratitude with Attitude

I’m trying hard to stay positive during the current power outage, and for the most part I am successful. However, every once in awhile, it all just feels overwhelming and then I dissolve in a big puddle of tears and self-pity. Which I hate. So then I get pissed at myself for doing that, because who really wants to be around a whiny baby after all? And right now there are a lot of people who are forced to be in close proximity to me, due to the fact that I have no power, along with my MIL and my FIL, and we’re all camping out at Grandma Frank’s and Uncle Milt’s.

Powerless. Again.

Ahhhh, yet another electricity-less weekend has come and gone. Those whole-house generators are looking better and better with each passing day.

Praise be to God

Thank you, God, for the safe return of Ben Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck to their families. May you continue to look over all the other missing children still out there.

Plan B, among other things

I’m sitting there last night, and my sister calls me and says, “What’s Plan B for the shower?” I grunted, “Huh?” She said, “You know, because of the weather.” “Again, huh?”
