There was a lot of wind and torando warnings here. I think one touched down north of Matthew's sister. Mom lost power for awhile but she is ok and we are ok.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, we are quite windy, but in a weigh down the outdoor furniture and be super grateful for the breezes kind of way. (I didn't weight down the chairs and they are tossed about the yard, oops)

We had some Wednesday, but they skipped our city and hit surrounding areas instead. People were very twitchy after the previous storm.

It's been steady rain here, mostly vertical so far.
I discovered that I have a phobia that I didn't heretofore known about: getting things up my nose. There was a small bout of screaming, but the tech seemed somewhat amused.

Theo, I warn medical people that I have an oversensitive gag reflex. To my credit, I've never actually thrown up on anyone ... just some dramatic gagging on occasion.

I gotta say whenever they show that test on the television I shudder so I suspect I won't care for it either if I need to get tested at some point. (I imagine my medical offices will want to test me before they let me come back in to train them on stuff)

Ooh for the covid test, Theo? I've heard it's hardcore.
A good friend of mine just got unexpectedly furloughed for 8 weeks (and may end up being more) after being told this morning that she was having a 25% pay cut. Way to make the pay cut not seem so important? Yikes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Got hours of heavy rain last night but not much wind. Tornado watch just south of here, but none actually happened. Still raining off and on today. As long as the roof holds and nothing blows away, let it rain.

I think I totally messed up my unemployment claim and there is no way to get through to anyone right now, there is just a message to go on the website or call back later. ARGH. blech.

ok and I got a letter in the mail, my benefits have been stopped over an issue with me being able and available to work. I didn't think I had to be actively looking for work because I was furloughed with the pandemic. It would be nice to have more information about how to navigate all of this but the phone number in the letter is the same one that I tried to call. I went on the website and tried to fill out the information as best as I could. There was a spot to actually write info so I just wrote basically what I wrote here I don't know what will happen.
