[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 173711, member: 1697"] update---- after I posted last, just as my post registered here, lightening hit the transformer in our yard and sent live wires hanging and dangling, sparking etc. it blew our elec off..... firetrucks responded along with police and elec co trucks, blocked us in, told us to stay inside.....so I could not get out right off to get PCs newest Rxes, etc. the temp and humidity are bad, it is HOT here. elec just came back on a couple mins ago. BUT they are still working on the damage outside. Turns out basement is now underwater, and thats where PCs bedroom normally is, all her possessions....<sigh> due to me being gone, and then to no elec this morning, dishes are piled, laundry is becoming mountainous....remembered we got notice earlier this week, due to previous flooding here, the water co is doing something called "smoke testing" of our sewers this week? (I never heard of this before) and smoke might come out of any of our drains thru the next 2 weeks. Yeesh. LOL- when it rains it pours. Literally. Got out to go to get medications and found the storm pulled off our makeshift cover on our Jeep- and the inside of the jeep is now a swimming pool. easy child is who uses the Jeep. she had a lot of things in the jeep. They are now mostly ruined.....including her WIC coupons for this month. <sigh> Seems poor easy child is getting blasted from all sides right now. Yes, things are just things, but the workload is piling bigger and bigger astronomically. exponentially. and without elec - or undependable elc for he moment, hard to get things on track to catch up----- BUT------ there are a few VERY GOOD things. Minor is that my errant sunflowers are now blooming all over, must be 20 or 30 in bloom, maybe they are in rather odd places, but that just makes them even more whimsical and fun, LOL. Major is easy child felt GOOD today, ate some SOUP_ and YAY! kept it down for 3 hours so far! This is HUGE. YAY! I want to dance and shout from the roof. YAY! Then she requested to go for a very short ride to store to take her work note to work HERRSELF. and then to top it off, she requested to walk AROUND the store to "stretch" and just be out of the house.....difficult child went with her around while I quickly gathered a couple things we absolutely NEEDED......and then we brought her home.
