So did you hear the latest? It looks like I might get to experience two cold wars with Russia in one lifetime. What are the chances?! At least this time I am old enough and wise enough to know that duck and cover isn’t going to save my ass.

We had a huge storm blow through last night. Loads of rain, massive amounts of lightning, a touch of small hail, and wind. The good news? We didn’t lose electricity this time, and I don’t think the wind was bad enough to tear up any of the trees. The bad news? I found where the water is getting into the bathroom. No sense doing anything about the bathroom now. We have to do something about the roof. I don’t even want to talk about it or think about it right now. I’m just glad there isn’t supposed to be anymore rain for the rest of the week.

What? You want more news from Casa de Orb? Fine. Lin’s work truck is non-functioning. Looks like I will be minus transportation until that gets fixed. This sucks more than a little, because I am really going to need to go grocery shopping soon, that huge restocking trip I keep putting off the last two weeks. I guess I could do it at night, but ugh, I really hate shopping at night.

I’m extremely stressed, highly hormonal, and altogether cranky. Since I was up most of the night dealing with household problems, I think I will take today off to mope. If you don’t hear from me again today, imagine me playing Final Fantasy XII and making pizza and napping, because that’s all I plan to do today.
