If you watched the weather today (Monday), I'm sure you've seen the stretch of weather that is going to be plaguing about half the country for the next few days. We had several tornadoes here in Alabama but only one casualty when a huge tree fell on a mobile home in Dora, Alabama. At least, that's so far. I just heard there is another tornado somewhere around the Tuscaloosa area. Say a little prayer for them. They still are not over the devastation from the 2011 tornado that hit the town during the big outbreak of tornadoes that spring.
Here near us, we were just hit by some high winds and lots and lots of rain. They say we got more than 3 inches of it and there is some danger of flash flooding in areas around us. I just know that we didn't have internet or TV for several hours so I just went to sleep with one ear open for the tornado sirens (so you know how well I was actually sleeping) since the weather channel said our alert would last until 6am. However, when I turned it on just a few minutes ago, radar showed the storms had passed our area. Well, the severe storms had anyway.
I was really torn between keeping my pj's on or putting on regular clothes just in case. I decided to leave my jammies on since they were warm and they covered me just as well as regular clothes would. If I got wet, I got wet. Regular clothes would too. I put my shoes close to where I was sleeping (and packed up my boots along with my pills and purse). I know my priorities....LOL!
The Beast just went to bed as normal once the TV went out and trusted me to be the one to worry AND wake him if the sirens went off. So he got a decent nights sleep but I will be yawning all day long. I decided that I am going to go get my flu shot tomorrow at wherever they are being given. I will probably try Walgreens because of their *Get A Shot, Give A Shot* program. The cost is the same.
Well, I am going to try to get at least a couple hours GOOD sleep now that the weather seems to have settled down here. Love you all. Please be careful and be safe. ***Hugs***
You're on Medicare, the flue shot is free.
ReplyDeleteLOL....that was the whole point! But there was an added bonus of the shot for a child in an underprivileged area.
