learn to swim

well, today there were HUGE storms that snuck in during the evening. They actually freaked me out a little bit. They definitely freaked out my cats.

 We have 2 doors into our apt - an outside door downstairs and another lockable one upstairs. Hubby left the downstairs one unlocked, and consequently it blew open in the storm. I ran down the stairs to close and lock it up and my calico followed (cuz she loves going where she shouldn't). I couldn't lure her back upstairs right away. Usually she lays on the cement next to the door until she gets tired or bored - which could be hours. Well a huge crash of thunder came shortly after i got upstairs and all of the sudden she came STREAKING into the dining room. And ever since then she creeps up on the door (upstairs) cautiously like it's gonna reach out and attack her.

The other cat just crawled under the bed until the worst passed.

Funnily tho, when it was all over, a friend of mine on fb (from HS) posted a pic of her hubby on a raft floating down their street - just a few blocks from where i live. their entire street was like a river (learn to swim) Luckily we didn't get any flooding - altho the utility room is a little damp.



And altho i ranted on fb earlier - i have to rant again.

i have 2 friends on fb and all they seem to do is complain. This is fine. I'm used to it. I generally ignore it.

however TODAY both of them had "White Whines" - one friend complained about how hot it is camping this weekend and how the a/c in their rv wasn't working as well as it should. REALLY!?!?!!? AIR CONDITIONING WHILE YOU ARE CAMPING!?!?!?! ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME!?!?!

when i was little we went camping with a tent. we found ways to stay cool.

crap - hubby came home and we're heading out for a couple adult beverages - i'll finish tomorrow.
