Snakes and hail and tornadoes, oh my!

 We had a storm roll in and in NOVEMBER had a tornado whipping around. Much of the area got hammered. When I went to bed last night I hear a really really loud noise on my balcony. It sounded, seriously, like the balcony above mine fell onto mine or that mine had been ripped off! We took a quick look and everything seemed ok but when I woke up I tip toed out and my balcony is covered in black soil. The only thing we can think off is that someone’s planters got picked up by the wind and thrown into my balcony railing. Weird.

A few nights ago my doggo, Julie, was asleep next to my on the chaise part of our couch. The house was pitch black. My husband had just gone to bed and the boy was in his room when Julie starts barking her “ Fuck around and find out” bark and growling…. This is usually saved for trying to fight armadillos, but, obviously that wasn’t the issue, so I’m trying to see in the pitch dark… for one thing my eye surgery has been postponed due to a complication with my eye…. That’s neither here nor there… point is, I had been looking at my eye pad so even if I wasn’t already blind in one eye, I couldn’t see shit. So, I’m all asking her what’s up… my 20 year old man child is yelling from his room for he to “ Do something” like, what do you suggest? Whip out my ninja skills and fight off an intruder? My husband comes out and she will not stop her “imma gonna give you three seconds, bitch” stance so we turn on the light and because her hair is on red alert she looks like puffy dandelion version of a Labrador! My son, still in his room is asking if everything is good? My Dude! I’m out here crouched down with my fists up ready to start swinging and your 20 yr old self is in your ROOM?! 

He got exactly 0% of my feisty! Kids these days!

Had a doctors appt last week that went well. My doc is back from maternity leave and I’ve missed her. I wore my girliest pink dress with my Doc boots, because that’s how you do it, and she said that I’m always dressed so cute. I mean, ya, I do have to pay her but still….

There’s a rattle snake that’s taken up residence just outside our back door that we get off the elevator at to go to the parking garage. Just living his best life between two stones in a short decorative wall. I’m not a fan.

The island’s Christmas tree is being put up! Grin!!!!

We’re planning our 30th wedding anniversary trip, going to take it in the spring rather than October and I thought the husband would want a beach type thing. I even looked up Fiji… Do you even know how fucking far away Fiji is???? 24 hour flight. Nearly to New Zealand! That’s a Hellnope, from me. But, I was surprised by where he actually wants to go! It’s SO ME!! Plus he’s really excited to do something new that we’ve never done or been before that’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before and when I get to planning I’ll tell you all a bit more!! And we want to plan a drive up the Oregon coast soon-ish too. I love it there so much. What a blessed to have spent so much time there in my life. I wish I’d known the last time we’d went that we wouldn’t be back. I would have breathed in the air a little longer and listened to the cold water rush up onto the beach a little longer and took in the majesty of it all just a bit more. It always made me cry happy tears. 

I have to go.

Night luvs… PS: a fedora, I forgot to mention, I prefer darker colors and especially love wool or felt, light weight in the summer though, me and my twin bear.
