As if I've not written enough about the weather, I return to blogging after quite the weather-related absence. Now that Ike has taken a hike, it's back to normal.
Ha! What's normal? I've been evacuated for the past 9 days. Such a surreal period of time. Seems like I did nothing, but I sure was exhausted every night. I can't believe that storm was already a week ago.
Things that you take so for granted have flown by the wayside. Even the local McDonald's has been closed all week. Huh? What? No quarter pounders? Not if you live in Maplewood. Even the shopping center nearest there has been closed all week. Unreal. Traffic lights are hit or miss still.
Came home to a phone call on the answering machine that thrilled me. A dear friend from college has resurfaced and tracked me down. I've missed her and was so pleased she found me. She and I go for years with no communication, but we always reconnect. Can't wait to hear the latest in her life. Always interesting and fascinating. Always was.
Gotta love it when your DH sets something on fire. Hurricane winds blew down trees in our yard, so he's burning tree branches and such. Mostly ours. However, winds carried an ember to the neighbors' yard and set one of their trees afire. At least they were nice about it.
So much to do to try to get life back to normal.
