Popular Post Fae Briona Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Posted October 27, 2020 We still have power this morning, though there are over 100K out of power in the OKC metro-area (we have less ice here than they do there). Campus is closed so we slept in -- quite a bit later than normal. Shocked the furry kids hadn't tried to wake us up or left "gifts" for us on the floor. Looks mainly wet looking out the window, though I know that is deceptive. 6
kbois Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Well, we're back home and all unpacked, laundry is going and I realized exactly how overboard I went at the distillery when I was putting it all away and it nearly didn't fit in the cupboard. It's a bit embarrassing to realize I bought: 2 bottles of Apple Pie Moonshine, 1 bottle of Orange Cream Moonshine, 1 bottle of Limoncello, 1 bottle of Florida Straight Bourbon, 1 bottle of Port Finished Bourbon, 1 bottle of Pineapple Rum, 1bottle of Orange Spiced Rum, 1 bottle of Gin. Plus, the non-alcoholic mixers....Ancient City Spice (2 of them) Spoiler My husband did offer to help me consume the assortment. It'll probably take us a year!🤣 If anyone every makes it to St. Augustine I highly recommend the Airbnb we stayed at. It can be found if you search 'St. Augustine Intercoastal Private Waterfront Loft'. The hosts are Jeremy and Rena. We never saw them, just their cat and dog. We already want to go back and are thinking about going in Jan for hubby's b-day. We'll see how the crazy world turns for the next couple months. I hop the rest of the week goes well for everyone. I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow *whine*. 😭 1 2

Fae Briona Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Out of the Ice Storm this morning but could have a strong thunderstorm w. strong winds and hail this morning. LOTS of limbs down all over -- 5 or 6 from the tree in my side yard, and a few from the tree in the neighbors house behind me. One of those broke a picket on the fence and I'll need to find a way to push it over into their yard. Welp -- here's the thunder! 5

It's always hard to get back into "work mode" after a few days off, especially when you get caught in the middle of a tiff between your boss and a resident's family member who is being rather difficult and contradicting everything that's said. First day back...oh yay! *insert snarky eyeroll* Stay safe and dry... that's a lot of rain! Edited October 28, 2020 by kbois 2
spyke Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 @rickproehl Glad you're doing better. Lack of sleep just exacerbates tooth pain and problems. @kbois So you had a Monday on a Wednesday! Gee those are so much fun.....NOT!!! Didn't your boss just run off a good maintenance worker IIRC? 3

That was the manager next door. She still has another maintenance guy who's ready to quit. At least tomorrow is Friday Eve! 4

Fae i hope you are feeling better and your ice has melted. here we are getting rain in the next 24 hours 1-4 inches. So how are things with you? Glad you’re feeling better, rick. I’m tired after trying trying out my leaf blower on the front yard for the first time. It works great, but it took me a while to figure out how to not blow leaves into the street or on the neighbour’s driveway. Went for a walk then finished packing Halloween candy into these cute little Halloween themed boxes - I’m going to have them sitting on a table outside so the kids (if we get any) can just pick up a box, and be on their way. Dinner and dishes are done, so I’m going to read while simultaneously drinking hot chocolate and vegging. If I don’t see you laterz, have a great night one and all. 5
Popular Post Fae Briona Posted October 28, 2020 Popular Post Posted October 28, 2020 Today was not a good day - pain level was extremely high. Our fourth and final wave should move through later this evening and overnight, but that will bring high winds to ice-damaged tree's so there could be more limbs dropping. Luckily, we got less ice here than the Capital area did. What we got was quite enough. 6

So how are things with you Hi rick, It's gloomy and very windy here today. We're catching the back wind side of Zeta and it's supposed to start raining later. It's just ugly hot and humid out. Way to hot for October! I hesitate to say it, but I've had a fairly easy day. Now that I've put that down in writing, all hades will break loose at 4:45 p.m. this afternoon. LOL. Take care of yourself 3

Fae Briona Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Came home early to clean up some of the limbs that got torn down - figure the more I'm able to do the less I'll have to pay someone else to clean up; though some if it will have to be cleaned up be a professional, as there were a few large diameter limbs that came down in the ice storm. Promised SP that I wouldn't over do it, but after picking up the mess the dogs left [seriously, how do they manage to spread their food over half the living room floor‽] I'm already hurting and haven't even been outside yet. 2 3
