Prelude to Storm Moon

It has stormed all day long today, as my Sith siblings in Gawgia know all too well. Our weather radio has been alarming, on average, about three times an hour, alerting us to severe weather heading in our direction. We've been under Tornado Watch 119 all day long. It lasts until 7 PM tonight, at which time I'm thinking we'll probably go under Tornado Watch 120 until only Goddess knows when. Aunt Tudi and I have been sitting in the dark for the majority of the day, waiting for some sort of reprieve to where we could safely use some electricity. That reprieve is now, but I don't know how long it will last. I just saw a flash of lightning outside.

At least it's not 400 degrees and we're having to do without A/C. When the Alpaca Lips happens, if there are survivors afterward, a lot of those survivors will perish underneath the cruel Southern Summer sun. For my part, I'd rather just drop dead quick during the Alpaca Lips.

Saturday Quiz Splendourifioso!

That's not a word, but it should be. I've been meaning to post these quizzes for two weeks now, but never got around to it. So I'm doing it today, at this precise moment. If anyone sees a quiz here that they posted a while back, chances are I stole it from you, so thanks!

( a whole buncha quizzes, yo )

Mundane Events of the Day

I got to sleep in this morning, but I woke up at 10 am with my head exploding. Something told me to call in my migraine medicine the night before and I'm forever grateful to that something. I pulled myself out of bed and hauled ass to the pharmacy to pick up my Relpax. I took a pill on my way to the post office, checked the box, then came home. My medicine usually doesn't knock me out, but it did this time. Maybe it's because of the nature of the headache, I don't know. I was unconscious off and on for the majority of the day. The occasional boom of thunder or Chester opting to trample my prone body would wake me up for a little while, then I'd be right out again. I woke up and was feeling pretty much back to normal by 5 PM.

At 6:30 Llew called me. He was on the side of I-85 at exit 58, out of gas. The gas gauge on his car doesn't work, so he had no idea he was so low on the juice, Bruce. I zipped over to the gas station and got a gallon, then went in search of my significant other. He was parked underneath the precipipause*, awaiting his Lady in Plaid Armour. After he poured in the gas and started the car, we headed for home and a hot bowl of tomato soup, courtesy of Aunt Tudi.

clumsycake called a few minutes ago. She's on her way over to return Aunt Tudi's Judge Judy DVD. More than likely she'll stick around for a while to visit, hobnob, and be generally talkative and sociable. If Ashley is with her, she probably won't stay for very long.** I guess we'll know which way the wind blows once the woman herself arrives. After she leaves, I may crawl off to bed. That headache and the subsequent treatment seems to have sucked the life force right out of me. I feel like I could sleep for days without end. Migraines are horrid, just horrid.


*Precipipause [sniglet]: an overpass that, upon driving under it, causes a brief pause in precipitation when it's raining.
**Ashley isn't with her, but she can't stay anyway. She has family members waiting for her to bring them food, so off clumsycake scurries to purchase sustenance from Burger King. I wish I had me a Whopper right now.
