We had a horrible wind and rainstorm last night and the wind is still really bad. Kelsa and Signe' were here as all 4 of them had flu shots yesterday. She usually runs a fever, so they stayed here so she could be watched and not go to school.
We were woken at about 3:30 suddenly as rain was pelting the window so hard it sounded like a fire hose was hitting us. Then at 5 a weather emergency alert woke us as 100 mile an hour winds were reported on the prairie. Signe' lives on the prairie. Trucks and cars were blown off the road, and the roads were closed. School has been cancelled.
If Signe' had come from home, she would never have made it to work. The weather guide told us to go to rooms with no windows. I have large windows in every room. So, it was bathrooms. My fence is down in several places. The picture above is now down. The posts are sheared off, and it is very old. I will have to be replaced. I was going to do it this next spring, but it looks like my hand might be forced to do it earlier. I did not need this to deal with. But then again.... it could be worse.
I am still fighting insurance on my medication, and I had two letters that Sissie moved (she is always moving something as she cleans up what she thinks is my mess) I could not find a very important letter, and I was on the phone with the insurance co. again. I went off the deep end as I could not find the one letter, so I called her and raked her up for moving my stuff. So, she comes storming up here and goes through the papers I had already gone through three times, and she turns papers over and there was my letter. I hate it when she is right and I am an ASS. SO, you should turn papers over? I do have to say that the wind damage here has me a little on edge not to even mention no sleep. Okay I apologized.
Kelsa and I are going to frost sugar cookies and then I have to run errands. Sewed about three hours yesterday and also paid my taxes on the house. Kay and I and made up all the cookie trays, they will be delivered tonight. Then I started on all the Nativity costume parts. Most are done and I just have to go and get one small piece of cloth I could not provide out of my mess of fabric. Then I have some hand sewing left, and I will bag them and label them for Saturday.
Just a few sewing projects left. One pair of pants and one jacket and I am done!!!! Until after Christmas. There will be 4 wedding dresses waiting for me when I get back.
Cheryl asked why I put up tree when I was going to be gone. I thought that the decorations would make me feel better. I am not sure I did the right thing. I am not good, and I add to my own stress. Need to rethink this next time.
Anyway, we have not been blown off the hill, but the weather really gave us it's all.
God is good
