I woke up this morning to my radio alarm. I have it set to coincide with the news and weather report. While it was going, I listened to the radio guy talk about the storm that had just rolled through. He rattled off all the roads that were closed, the schools that were affected (one elementary closed and the high school on a two hour delay), and the 15,000 people (in that one town) that were now without power.

That included Ray’s workplace. I prodded him to find out how he could find out. He checked the website, it didn’t load. He found out that there was no power there so he went back to bed.

Meanwhile, I dragged the trash out to the road not long before the trash truck came by.

Sadly, even though we now had the time to spend on cutting and removing the downed trees from last Sunday, not much got done because more storms blew through several times today. Ray got a lot of the brush moved. The girls and I got some groceries and picked up the birthday cake for Phoebe’s party tomorrow.

Ray kept getting calls from work-related people. He finally went into his darkened work to get some things to work on at home. Oh joy.

Tomorrow is supposed to be free of severe weather. We hope to get more work done in the morning before people start arriving. *fingers crossed*

So, instead of ending Friday the 13th with a bonfire under the moon, we ended it with pizza and a couple of episodes of Doctor Who and Samantha Who? tonight.
