Rather like me yesterday.

I'm slowly figuring out how to get my "victim" where the hornets can get at him and he can't get away. Still thinking and sewing and checking out a certain vampire. Tis the season, ya know!

Yeah it is. I think it's the same storm that hit y'all yesterday but toned down a lot. We are not under a tornado watch or warnings at all. If anything, it's just high wind and lots of rain.

My brother's wife is almost as silly as I am, and y'all know how wonky I can get... Hehehehehee...

Probably. That storm hit WD the night before it got here so the timing is about right. It was pulling heat/moisture up from the Gulf as it was passing through here which is why the weather folks were so worried.

I can see why and why it's warm for this time of year over here. Normally daytime highs are around low to mid forties (about 5 or so Canadian) and today's high was about 14 or 15 C/60 F.

No sign of Hubby yet, and the wind is getting gustier. *SIGH*

We had some pretty strong wind here last night so if you want/need to take off, it's okay.

I'm considering it. I got knocked offline for a while this morning thanks to the weather and I'd rather NOT repeat it. Roll Eyes

We'll be cleaning up the yard tomorrow. Some pieces of tree that are too large to leave until spring are going to have to be hauled to the woods.

My husband would chop those up with the ax and then use it for firewood in the firepit out back.

He works tomorrow night so I'll probably bake or something while he's gone, IF I have brown sugar....

The wind is getting gustier and I'm starting to get worried. I'm heading out now and hopefully the power stays ON. Hubby isn't home yet but the car has been having problems so I'm assuming he's stuck somewhere without access to a payphone or taking it REALLY easy on his way home tonight. He refuses to take the cell with him, his coworkers do NOT know we have one. As far as he's concerned, if we are NOT home when someone from work calls, that's their problem, and he doesn't want to be bothered if we're on a day trip. The school or our mothers calling is one thing, work bugging him is another.

Have a great night everyone. See y'all tomorrow.

I've had a cool idea involving an extremely large poisonous snake that's big enough to carry off a full grown man. I may have to increase the death toll......

Hugs back VE, MJ and the boy had a good time at the monster mash last night.  She's a tough little lady.  She has her little nieces to spend time with too so I think that really helps Smiley

Very quiet Samhain here, no vandals near our place, no kids either though.  Half the street lights on our block don't work so it's truely frightening.  The weather was quiet calm, chilly.  Lots of smoke. 

We've been having our postal service cut back here as well.  First they took our local sorting/distributing away.  Now they are talking about taking away our home delivery.  Downtown here they don't really have any property set aside in areas that would be suitable for community boxes and the Main post office was gutted and turned into separate government agency offices over 20 years ago.   I'm seriously hoping they will drop this nonsense. 

I have some good news Smiley  The bloke got me a small tablet with a kindle app so I can finally enjoy your books without straining my eyes at the computer Penth!  Just getting back into them now!  Anyway, I have alot of posts to catch up on here so I'm going to try and make a dent in that.  It's good to be back Smiley

Welcome back! I hope you enjoy the books and can read them without problems. I'm plugging away on the fourth one and I'm hoping to pick up speed pretty soon. I know what needs to happen in this one and where it ends but getting it all filled in has been a trial.

Okay. I can NOT stay awake any longer. The cognitive functions are going offline and the body is demanding to get prone in no uncertain terms! So, I'm going to take the hint and head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.

Hubby made it home about half an hour after I logged off last night. The car is still acting odd so we'll be getting it looked at again next week.

I had a rough night last night and Hubby let me sleep in for a while. I'm still not feeling the best but better than I was at 5:30 a.m.

I'm still not feeling great so I've been playing games in FB and now I'm continuing on with the full reread of Book 2 and taking notes on where to make the bigger changes, etc. I may sneak out to have cuddle time and a nap on the chair with Miss Lardbucket later.

The eyes hurt, I still don't feel great and I'm yawning. I'm going to go snuggle Cat on the chair for a while. I'm not sure if I'll be back later or not, it all depends on how I feel. In case I don't make it back have a great night everyone.

Smiley VE! Feel better!

I'm here, we did our usual Saturday stuff. We hit Hobby Lobby and Half Price books and came home with a haul. I have enough heat resistant/reflective fleece to last me the rest of my life -- probably!

I will now relax and get caught up!

Just popping in quick Smiley  It's great to be back!  I'm enjoying the series immensely Penth now that I can read it on the small screen in night mode.  Smiley  So, much easier on the eyes!  Whenever the fourth is done I'll be happy Smiley It'll be worth the wait!

VE, this weather is not being kind to anyone.  The temperature and pressure changes make everything ache..  My boys also brought home the flu for me :/  I've been rubbing vicks into my feet and knees.  The bloke has Voltarin (from here) and ibuprophen gel (from UK) that really sees to help with the aches.  I don't know why they won't sell ibuleve gel here, it's so gentle and works!  Hope you feel better soon! 

Catch y'all a little later! ((hugs))

Thanks RT and Penth. I can't use anything with ibuprofen in it, it makes me ULTRA wonky and I'm babbling stuff I have no clue what I'm saying, etc. It's aspirin or the "222's" (aspirin with a little codeine) as my American cousins call them.

I do feel a LOT better this morning. Son and I stayed up very late to combat the time change and he slept in somewhat late this morning, thank the gods! I'll be taking him to bed at the "usual" time tonight, right after the Doctor Who marathon is done for the day, so we'll be balanced out by the morning. Otherwise...

I HATE THE TIME CHANGE!!!

Coffee and catch up time.......

The Doctor Who marathon may be on today but I'll be working on the final reread of Book 2 before it goes into its first perk cycle. I'm in Chapter 38 of it at the moment and with a little luck, I'll get that done today.

If I finish it, I'll be working on the final reread of Book 1 before I send it to our Penth for her enjoyment and to see if I missed anything else. I hope I didn't and it's probably what readers will see when it's published, whenever that will be! LOL

It's a darn good thing I do NOT have any full days alone this coming week (Hubby works all evening shifts) because I'd probably go wonky like I did this past Friday. It was NOT pretty at all and I wasn't fit to be around anyone, not even my husband or son. Yeah, I was that bad by times. *SIGH*

Morning. I am here and a bit out of sorts.


I HATE THE TIME CHANGE TOO!!! Smiley

I'm hoping tea will improve my mood a bit but I'm thinking it will probably take a few days for me to adjust.

Thanks for the kind words, RT.

I'm on coffee #4 or 5 right now so it's helping on my end.

I'm soon going to get some lunch. I actually feel like eating today.
