We had a batch of bad weather come through here yesterday. I had seen a severe thunderstorm warning earlier in the day, but didn’t think much about it. But early in the evening, as we were preparing dinner, the warning sirens started going off, so we turned on the local news to get a more detailed status.

Kids are all at school, and I have breakfast and coffee. Now it’s quiet work time. Other than the noise of the cat chasing our dog around. #
Power out at home. Going to store for a new printer cartridge. #
Back @ home. Power is back. Working again. Yay me. #
