It's All About the Weather

Wow - will the rain and storms ever stop?

I get that I'm lucky - no flooding, mudslides, wind damage, etc.  Thank the lord and knock wood.  But how much more water can hit the land without consequence.  Hubby didn't get home from his flight until 3 am.  Flight diverted, unable to land several times and drive home was wicket.  I was awake a lot of the night waiting for him (checking email for updates), soothing scared dogs and jumping with the storm noises that seemed directly over the house.

You know how I know ... the old no-time-between-lightening-and-thunder calculation.  I couldn't even say one-Mississippi.

Scary.  I don't know what the rest of the country is going through with weather this week, but I bet we're not the worst of it (I'm checking once I finish this post!!).

When I finally got to a sound sleep (hubby home), I had crazy dreams about spiders.  Fun night all around.  I know the dream came from a post I read from a new dog-foster mama at Releash.  She's from Australia and posted a picture of her daughter's messy room.  A friend of hers from Australia commented that her open dresser drawer would be dangerous in Australia.  That's an open invite for an Assie spider.  OMG!!!  I can't even imagine.  I'm trying hard not to imagine.  It's the reason I'll never go to Australia.  Lame, fear based, limiting and I DON'T CARE!!  Never. Ever. Over. My. Dead. Body.  Sorry, the dreams are lingering this morning.

In other news ... I finished the second season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.  How did I think the second season was disappointing?  It was ... well, MARVELOUS!  Maybe even better than the first.  I should wait to weigh in with my opinion until I know it's my opinion hahahaha!

I started a new book. (My TV binge is over for now.)  Tell you more about it when I'm finished (see above declaration -- that won't stick for too long, but since I just said it ...).

I'm rambling - not totally awake yet.  Restless night with yucky dreams.  I'm in a fog.

Tonight, hubby and I are going to a dinner sponsored by our bank -- financial forecast for the year.  We went 2 years ago to the lunchtime presentation.  The head financial forecaster for Chase speaks for about 45 minutes.  I thought the talk would go over my head, but it's general enough that I "get it" and it's interesting (surprisingly).  Free dinner too.

The rest of the day is paperwork and rescue calls.  Nothing that feels inspiring from where I sit this morning.  Plugging along to feeling better.  I need a better night's sleep to secure some better days.  I decided to have a goal to feel my best by Monday.  That means good diet, good workout, good sleep and a few more days of recovery.  Of course, I'm set to get my monthly this weekend.  That could be contributing to my blahs this morning too.

Stay dry!  Later gators.
