I went outside at around 2 and saw much of the moon hidden, but when I went out at what was supposed to be totality it was covered by a cloud. It likely would have cleared, but I went back to sleep. I do have to walk over to the beach for the full moon rise tonight since it is at a decent 8 PM and the forecast calls for completely clear skies.
I've been listening to BBC News in the morning. This morning, the discussion involved how to proceed now that the US has proven to be completely unreliable. With a side of do we just have to deal with this for 4 years or is this a more permanent change. It is just so depressing.
I should be absent today because I need to do something with my house! It doesn't take much for a smaller place to be completely out of order.
I think I was outside around the same time Laura. I was too tired and cold to wait for the totality though.
Besides, if I had waited, it might’ve got me.
We set the alarm for 3 a.m., scuttled outside to look at totality (very cool!), and went back to bed. This morning, my brain isn't loving the interrupted sleep, but coffee is my faithful companion.
Also, Happy Pi Day!
Happy Pi Day!
Everybody raise your hand if you know exactly where your passport or birth certificate is!
Passport, yes; birth certificate....maybe? I know the first place I'd look, anyway. I do know exactly where both kids' birth certificates (and passports) are.
I like watching eclipses, but 2:26 am was not a practical time to do so what with me being comatose. I spent most of yesterday afternoon clearing out bookcases and sorting contents at the office. Between the dust and fumes from the marker I was using to label boxes, I was woozy for the evening and turned in early.
I did not stay up until 3am to see the blood moon, but a friend of mine who is an amazing photographer did: [link]
Happy π Day!
Maybe keto pizzas on carb-free tortillas are on the menu tonight.
Who’s got the bubble wrap? I have had a week y’all. I strained my back moving furniture around for a new couch coming in on Monday So I’ve been moving around like I’m 80 for the past several days. Despite that I accidentally stepped on something coming into the house last night that sent my leg skidding out from under me, and I took a spectacular fall, coming down on my *throat* and forehead on the back of a chair.
I am fine, except for some soreness and hard to explain bruises. Good thing I’m on video calls all day.
Whoa, Brenda! Take care of yourself!
I went to my friends to watch the eclipse but it was too cloudy here. It was fun hanging out on the roof in the middle of the night for a while though.
