Well, it has been a few days. Thursday after I had finished my post, the power went off for over 20 hours. We had some severe thunderstorms as well as tornadoes nearby. Wednesday night the winds were in excess of 80 miles per hour where we live. It looks like we only had some minor damage to the trees. They were looking wind battered.
We did not need to fire up the generator because we were either sleeping or at work. The fridge and freezers were not opened. And because they were full there was a big enough thermal well to keep everything frozen/cold. But the house was hot and muggy making it hard to sleep. I had gone to bed early due to emotional exhaustion. I became aware of the power outage when my c-pap shut off. At that point I felt like I was being smothered. Apparently claustrophobia doesn't kick in as long as there is air blowing. Not that I am really that claustrophobic.
Storms continue on and off all weekend. Thursday night, Killian and I were just exhausted due to poor sleep the night before. He's still fighting off a cold and my asthma was acting up. At first I was thinking the astma was due to the clean at work. I was working up in my boss' office for the clean but I still have to go out on the floor from time to time during the clean. So I was blaming that. Friday, however, I was just feeling crappy. I remembered that my pulmonologist telling me that storms will affect my asthma. Especially big or severe storms. I think they were affecting Killian's health as well. When I looked at the air quality, mold was high and dust and dander were extreme. I think I figured out why my asthma was acting up. Truth is I am still struggling tonight. And there is a thunderstorm happening.
I spent a lot of the past few days sleeping. But I did get some chores done. And I did finish a quilt. And I was able to research and give a talk in church on the Importance of Fathers. All went well despite health struggles and stormy weather.
How are you doing? Are you having stormy weather? Are you keeping safe?
