Want to know something weird? My vision is still 20/20 when one eye is totally gooped up with goopy eye cream. Though I really don't like the fogginess right now.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

The office for my bro & SIL's landlord? Is tornado gone. They'll be doing their own blue tarp roofing for a bit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
good news, Theo!
and crazy news, sarameg. Tornadoes are fucking scary.

I don't have a lot of confidence in the structural integrity of their house in a tornado. Nor the safety of their basement (it's a cheapy 80s frame modular house.)
From what I'm seeing in pictures of nearby neighborhoods of similar homes, I'm not wrong.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Eek, sarameg, that's so scary. I'm glad they made it through OK! We had sirens from 1-2am, but nothing materialized where we were, thank god. (Of course, I didn't fall back asleep until 3:30... not a good night. But VERY GLAD we didn't get a tornado!)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Not just a leak. We need a new hot water boiler. Yay, more money the coop doesn't have.

I echo the eek, sara.
K-Bug's bf told her to take the trip to SF. Now we just have to figure out how to include CJ. And actual dates.

Oy. Not news you want do have or deliver.
My brother and SIL spent most of the night in the basement. Which, the safest corner is not that fun with 2 freaked out kids, an even more freaked out dog and a kitten. Tree falling on the house was hard enough it knocked the kitchen globe light covers off.

not your mom's socks.
there with all the 'can today leave and not come back' buffistas. The drain backing up got cleaned up and we're glad it's just roots. We're stuck with big bad bank because the appraisal tanked, unless I find a better program. HPF broke out in a rash from borrowing someone else's clothes (detergent allergy, check), and DH was awesome tonight with cleaning the basement, but I still had a total panic meltdown on him and he was awesome then too.
Dear Tuesday, please bring more awesome. And a fixed boiler for Jessica. And a pony.
ETA sarameg, I'm glad your sister and BiL are ok.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Tornados are scary.
I'm sorry so many of you are having crap days today.
I'm apparently having a rude day. The guy showing me to the jojoba oil said he liked my dragonfly necklace. I guess I know the right answer, but what I said was "If you think that's cool, you should check out my shoes!" Since, you know, they have more dragonflies.
He took it reasonably well, but I think I felt like a bully by the time I left.
Manager wore jeans in today. Which is totally cheating, since she knew ahead of time.
Watching Set It Off. Well, for at least the next few minutes. I can't believe I ever liked this. It's really stiff and awkward.
