It's raining here, which is good, and I don't have to be anywhere until Sunday, which is excellent.

It is so windy!
It's ridiculous here. Slush everywhere, although it's finally stopped snowing, and the wind is insane. I have not lost power (knocks wood) but the grocery store did, which was weird because they were still open. The registers and maybe 1/5 of the lights worked, but it looked like all the cold and frozen cases were out.
Also took Sara to get her nose pierced, which was the only thing she wanted for her birthday. She was very brave, and it actually looks adorable. And I got many, many extra mom points for being dragged out in this weather to do it.
Aw, you are a most excellent mom indeed.
Please be safe all you people with weather issues. I think sunburn is my only risk from Ma Nature at the moment.
-t, you know me too well. The leaves are piling up on the porch roof. But I am NOT going out on the roof. Too scary. This is Serious Wind. Building collapses, transit shutdowns, people losing roofs.
Aw, flea. Nothing like hearing "Mom!" in a bass voice across the grocery store and being swept up in a long-armed hug, and trying to sort out which cub scout this was when I was his den mother. Or being stopped by a very tall police officer in uniform. "Excuse me." Ah, yes, officer? (Oh gawd, did I break a law or something?) And then the mile-wide grin, "'Officer?' Really, Mrs. L?" Willie! How are you? Well, ah, I can see you're doing pretty well. How's your mom?
Ugh, got word that the ceiling collapsed at the studio where my bellydance troupe practices. A drag for us but very bad for the guy who lets us use his studio - he has to cancel all his classes.
Oh, I'm so sorry, -t. I hope his insurance helps, at least somewhat.
-t's right, sarameg. No crawling out on the roof!
Let's all be glad we don't live here: [link]
I was just seeing pictures of Scituate (sp?) & waves breaching the seawall. My parents lived a block from the beach, in a summer house year round, ages ago.
