I was just reading about yesterday's storms and the places that were hit by tornadoes, and I saw that Jonesboro, AR was hit again?? Has anyone heard from Matt?

I want storm season to be over NOW. This is just too much.

Jonesboro again! That is not good.

Our latest drama is cars being abused. DH doesn't lock his and the glove box was open. There really is nothing in the truck, but they didn't even take the change from his center section (including quarters), so I am thinking kids. They also didn't take a battery charger sitting right on the front seat of the Jetta. My car not touched. My DIL, who is sure son would have locked her car, lost a necklace she had on the rear view saying 'you are my sunshine', and really not cool, her window punch from under the seat. They didn't take her $200 sunglasses, just left them with the paperwork and masks on her seat next to open glove box. So, people suck.

Today DH will be looking at motion detection cameras. We even have some in storage somewhere, but who knows where. My car actually has one internally, but I didn't have it activated. I just think we need something that will turn on a light and make some noise since the dog will go nutso at that point.

In related news, tomorrow, my child will be 15. What is time even?

Time ain't right.

Winds here are really scary - my phone has been going off all morning with notifications about road closures from downed trees.

Thanks, msbelle. That's a lovely thing to read.

Just watched the Bocelli concert from yesterday for a break from the news. That was quite divine!

The empty streets in cities around the world is a very spooky thing. DH picks my son up from work at 11 PM, which is normally a time of packed night spots in our main street area. Now he is able to drive down Atlantic Ave without any traffic at all.

We've got that same crazy wind. Some limbs hit the roof over my bed and that was pretty exciting. There's a tiny leak in the attic so it looks like we've cracked a tile.

At the moment I am very happy to be a renter.

NJ is under a tornado watch right now.

ASCEND ALREADY

Sheesh. She's taking idle to some new unprecedented level.

My kids (well, Owen) have gone feral. Seeing how they were both teenagers, we allowed them to set their own schedules on e-schooling. Liv rose to the challenge. Owen, not so much. I got an email with a list of missing assignments as long as my arm. I suspect he has mild ADD, and we were talking about getting him assessed pre-quarantine. Now we have to institute some stronger scheduling. Which sucks because he is just like me and I would be doing the same damn thing if I were in high school right now.

UGH. Kids. Why they gotta be like us?

Also we got snow last night. Two inches of wet, heavy shit which I am procrastinating shoveling off of our front walk.

I sent Matt a note asking him to check in after the weather awfulness near him this past weekend.

I have to say our weather is pretty awesome right now. Getting some much needed rain. A bit on the hot side (90ish), but the breezes are refreshing.
