prosodicSomehow, it managed to escape my notice that the Pacific Northwest was hit with a pretty awful storm over the past few days. The radio said something about hurricane force winds and power outages, as well as extreme cold.
I just hope the house hasn't been affected. It's not officially OURS until December 14, but if there is any storm damage, I hope the current owners will take care of that before we move in. I believe they are obligated to do so. It's already been inspected, so I don't know if anyone is going to climb up on the roof during the final walk-through or not.
I guess I need to mention this to Lance when I talk to him this evening, as well as mention to him that I found one of his flight suit patches in the driveway this morning. Although I'm sure he realizes by now that it's missing. It is the American flag patch. Ugh. Not that it's good for any of his patches to be missing, but probably that one especially.
In other news, my niece is now home from the hospital. She was kept a little longer for jaundice. And I have my first photos of her at home. She apparently really hates bath time. Hehe. But I have a photo of her smiling, which is really cute (even if it is probably gas).
I won't bombard my FL with photos...many of my friends are childfree like me, and couldn't care less...and that is completely cool and understandable. After all, I generally don't go all gaga over babies that have nothing to do with my friends or family...I'm not the type that really melts over children in general (and of course, some people judge me and consider me a cold-hearted bitch because of that, and I can't change their way of thinking...but just put a puppy in front of me and I fall all to pieces). I mean, yeah...there are exceptions. If a child tries to engage me in some way, I usually respond (playing peek-a-boo with me in a restaurant, etc.)...I'm a child magnet, actually, and I've been told that this is because I don't speak down to children in cutesy-wutsey widdle voices. But I generally don't seek out the company of children.
I'm off on a tangent...anyway...
I may do an Eva filter for those who are really into baby photos. Still thinking about that.
Anyway, my posts have been bereft of any interesting content lately, so perhaps I should close this off and go take a shower and figure out how to spend my day. Spinning class is done, at least...the class was almost full and there were a few people struggling...when I see that, I try to give some encouragement if I can make eye contact with them. I know how sore they're going to be the next day and how much they're going to want to quit before they barely started. That was me, over two years ago, when I started. But the trick is not to give up, and things get easier.
I wish that were true of all things in life.
