Survived round 1 of the storms (or maybe that was round 2) without any damage. Round 2 (or 3??) will be hitting later on today. The weather here is usually pretty mild so it was weird to have all these warnings at once - blizzard, tornado watch, and hurricane winds. Winds were up to 73 mph by DD18s dorm. Flooding is normal for us during monsoons but the other stuff . . .

Sandy - Dorothy & Toto never flew by the window. But lots of other debris did. Of course, as the afternoon progressed along with the strong winds, I didn't let DBF's cat out as I thought for sure that tiny little thing would get blown away in to the neighbors yard or beyond.

Fin - Good luck in the tube. Hope it all goes well.

Sarah - Good luck to you in the tube as well. I too am surprised they have never done an MRI of your spine. Maybe it will reveal the source of many of you issues.

Debbie - Some times going to a therapist really helps. I did that for a few months and it really helped me get a better perspective on things as well as learning to look at things in a different way. It was good. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Kelly - LOL. There's always next time.

Hi everyone else! Hope you all have a great day!

Today is laundry (1 load) and homework day.
