Worst day in a long long time
We've had the worst day! The tree fell so we had PawPaw out to cut it up for us. During that time I had the cat make a mess, one dog make a mess then Blitz vomited up about a gallon for me. My back was killing me so I had gotten up at 9 AM and decided to lie down for about an hour at around 3 PM. During this hour R lost his job and called me and my uncle died and I had calls from that. I am honestly not sure how it can get worse but I won't say that out loud in case it does. Gonna have to put a huge amount of "The Secret" out there to get things back on track. We also have our trip in Dec which is paid for so we can't get a refund if we decide not to go. Oh, what to do, you know? I know things will work out, they always do.
Our first storm casualty
This was taken a couple of hours ago. We actually heard the limb tearing off.

Aren't you a little late, Ida?
This is the view earlier today.
Seems we have a little hurricane headed this way. Right now it looks like it's going to the Mobile, AL area and hooking over although earlier it was hooking much lower, which would have it pass through us. It's a category 2 so it's not a biggie. Probably just get some wind and rain. It's just so late in the season that it's pretty surprising.

An inperfect day
I think because yesterday was a perfect day that the universe has to balance out or something. Today, not so perfect. I woke up at 9:00 AM with a cold and you all know that if I'm up that early then I am sick or on vacation and I'm not on a beach in Mexico. So I'm sick enough to go to bed later and fall out but then the mailman rings the doorbell and wakes me back up. We went to pick up some medicine, etc and when we got home the front door handle was broken. It's like a thing you turn down instead of a knob. We had to unlock the privacy fence and go through the back yard. We were then literally locked in our house until R took the handle off to be replaced. So my perfect day beget this imperfect sucky day. I can't complain though and my cold is subsiding.
Oh and I forgot about blogging about Dead Snow. This movie freaking rocks. I watched it the other day with R and he even liked it and he hates subtitles. It's from Finland and it's about these snow skier med students that camp out at this place where these Nazis were killed. The Nazis are zombies and let's just say it was the bloodiest movie I have ever seen and the most use of guts ever. But, even if that's not your thing the snow was absolutely breathtaking, the zombies breathed super loud in stereo and it was creepy and it was just awesome. I rated it a 5/5 and it is now one of my favorite foreign horror movies ever. Click the link and view the trailer.
