Man! Was it ever windy last night! We had tornado warnings along with severe thunderstorm warnings and warnings about hail and you name it! We DID get wind and rain, but no hail

(thank goodness) and no tornadoes (double thank goodness!) . There was an outstanding sunset last night, but because I was in the car driving to the meeting, I had no camera, so wasn’t able to capture it. I’m going to have to start carrying the camera with me everywhere as I’m missing all these great photo ops! Anyway, it was something like this one, but weirder.

Came in this morning to a couple of emails that set my teeth on edge just by the way they were worded (sarcastically), but I took a deep breath, went for a cup of coffee and pushed the irritation down and answered them civilly. One issue I fixed – hopefully, but probably not – to the complainer’s satisfaction. The other issue is beyond my control and I’ve referred it to the people who can handle it. That’s the best I can do, but that probably won’t be good enough either. It’s going to be a WONDERFUL day – NOT!

Despite wanting to and working hard to get finished yesterday in a timely manner, it was still 4:30 before I signed out of the computer and got on with my chores. I was able to get those done in record time although I did cut a corner or two. Then, picked up the mail on the way out only to have to turn around because Ken pitched a hissy that he wouldn’t have the mail to look through when he got home — it was all junk mail anyway, so don’t understand what the big deal is, but like the dutiful wife I am, I made the sacrifice for happiness and marital tranquility.

I called Judy (pet sitter Judy, not sister Judy) last night just to make sure she is still on board to take care of the animals week after next. If I don’t hear from her today, I’ll call her at work tomorrow. 

That leaves the stupid shoes that I don’t have to match the dress I’m planning on wearing on the 18th and the question of what clothes to pack for the week. I’m not going to be ready I can tell…

Well, I need to get back to the job at hand.

Love to all,

Margaret
