Thursday Morning Thunder

WOW, what a day yesterday! It poured almost all day long. Last night a roll of thunder and lightening came and BAM the thunder made this horrific sound that almost brought me out of my skin. Harley ran for the hills and hid, I jumped and actually shook. Never before has a crash of thunder scared me that much. Then, the lights went out. For something like 6 hours. I just have one question. How do Amish people do this all the time? I was LOST without power. I sat & worried:

'OMG, what if it doesn't go on in the morning, how am I going to blow-dry my hair?'

'What about all the food in the fridge, it is going to go bad?'

'What about my blog? My emails?'

'How am I going to charge my cell? My iPod?'

I sat & pondered, how the hell did this happen? Technology has grabbed a hold of me & I am hooked. Hook, line, and sinker. Well I guess the first step is admitting you are powerless over technology.

Anyways, well luckily this morning I was able to get on the computer before I get ready for work. (yay, my blow dryer will work!) I feel SOOOO bad because I didn't know it was one of my bloggy friend's birthdays because I wasn't able to get back on the computer last night.So by one day off..HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE!!! I humbly apologize for missing it last night. May you have many, many healthy & happy more!!

Well, I am going to go off and get ready for work and use my technology to the fullest. Must also stop and get an iced coffee because I am craving one right about now. Oh yes, and it is STILL pouring outside. I have a bad feeling my hubby isn't going to get into work today because it floods near his job. It isn't good because today is his payday. Ugh!!!!!! Well the good news of the day is this, my sister is getting her catheter out a day early. She has an 8am appointment this morning. The stent will come out in 5 more weeks. But this is going to be SO much better for her. Yay!!!

I will leave you with some pics of Harley at his cutest. I promise soon ((Linda)) I will put up the tattoo pics. I just have to get my butt in gear find them on the computer. Harley has his own folder. LOL!

You know Jack-in-a-box....this is my version Harley-in-a-box. He has two beautiful cat beds but he prefers cardboard:This is Harley's Presidential portrait. LOL! He is SO serious in this picture. If you notice in the background on the wall is a painting my hubby had done by a local artist several years ago for me of my boy. I love it.Lastly, like mother like son...what we do best:

UPDATE at 9:45am: Spoke with my hubby..he got to work safe so he will be able to get his paycheck today. He just needs to be able to get past the floods to the bank to cash/deposit it. Also spoke to my sister at around 8:30am. She got the catheter out and she feels like a new woman! Now we have to wait to make sure she is able to "go". The urologist said that if there were any problems she can go right back. He also checked her incisions. Two started to bleed when he took the dressings off - ouch! He put antiseptic and put new dressings on all 4 of the incisions.

UPDATE at 10:00am: Spoke to my sister again..wanted to make sure she was able to "go"...and praise the Lord she went to the bathroom twice since she got home. She truly feels like a new person. Now we sit & wait & pray that this stent does the trick and will continue to work when the doctor removes it in 5wks.
