We have been having storms move through every night lately. 2 nights ago I was sleeping and felt this vibration moving the entire house. I turned off the window air and hear this roaring outside with strong rain. Looking out the window I couldn't see a thing but the house still vibrated for about a minute. Spooky. Our computers were down so we turned on the radio but didn't really hear anything. So I went back to bed. Yesterday we went outside to see if the storm had done anything.
Man, huge trees just twisted and snapped off right on our side yards to either side of us and tossed around like twigs. On the lot to the north of us this massive branch is just twisted and barely hanging on. When it comes down it will probably hit my roof again. And the owner lives in Oregon. Great. I am going to write him a letter and tell him he has to get it removed. I also have to have the tree people out to remove the rest of the others. I am so lucky the tornado didn't hit our house. Pretty scary.
Last night the same thing. Got woke up at 3 am by thunder and lightning. I haven't been out yet but hopefully it won't be as bad.
Let's see, whats new. I have lost at total of 33 pounds, 25 since I joined my fitness pal. My knee is messed up and I can barely walk since I twisted it at work making doing my Sweatin to the Oldies difficult, my surgery on my wrist is the 6th, the grandchildren are coming on the 1st and Zoey has lost weight and is doing well. Chester is still hanging in there and cute and fluffy and Rick, without even dieting has lost 12 pounds. He makes it look so easy.
Haven't gotten a ride in with the weather being so bad but hopefully I will if my knee will let me. I think I really screwed it up this time. The pain in unbelievable and it hurts all the time. It's always something. Missy, how long should I wait until I see a doc about it? It has been a week and is worse then it was. I have been icing it, using heat, ibuprofen, and I wear a sleave brace when I do my aerobics but that really makes it hurt.
Anyway, things otherwise are going well. I was pleased with the primaries and am praying they can do something about getting rid of the cap and trade bill. Did you know they want to give the EPA complete control over controlling energy costs. They will put controls on your furnace and you will have no say in what you run your furnace in the winter or air in the spring. They say every single person will see a increase of $1000 a month in energy costs. This new government has proven to be 100 % more destructive then I feared. People are starting to wake up to it but there are so many people who just aren't paying attention.
Well, enough of that depressing stuff. Wake up America and keep voting in people who can overturn this horrible force we have in there now.
