Hi everybody..... same old same old....stomach hurts today and nauseated.... just want to go back to bed....BUT have to work or whatever it is I call this

Do you have to or do you feel obligated to as time off and more rest sounds in order!

We had them last night and whilst my pals got great pics I got chuff all!

I had to do a little bit of experimentation. Early on the colors were very visible at around 7:30 PM.

But then they seemed to disappear.

However… using my phone camera with longer exposures, I was able to get some really good photographs. In truth, they looked a lot better on camera than with the naked eye.

After 730, I could barely see them just a faint, faint glow, but my phone picked it up nicely….

 

[Wonderer67]

It looked like my house was surrounded by a protection bubble. I cracked a back window and had the front door open for most of the hurricane. I fell asleep shortly after opening it to get cool air blowing through and slept straight through. I didn't mean to. I have a metal screen on the front door. Slept like a baby in the cross breeze. My kid slept in the closet on my mountain of pillows from the tornado warnings.

Glad it not only are you guys safe and sound, but that you escaped any major damage!!

I’ve only seen the Aurora once before, it was not nearly as spectacular as last nite.

One day, I would love to go to Scandinavia in the winter to really see them!!

Off to Norway and Sweden!!!

miss k. Was hoping that you were over this.

When is your doc appointment? It’s been a couple of weeks so this should’ve been past you…

The 24th... I am leaning toward ulcer now....

I've been to Iceland and Norway a few times and the ones we got last night were just as good. In Iceland we had one night that was also a G4 or 5 solar event that was like being in a planetarium. Didn't have all the red color we had last night. I would have loved to have been out somewhere without street/city lights but the pics from my front porch just using my phone came out nice. Supposed to be good again tonight.

That is great, it’s a perfect fall night. Or at least it will be. We’re gonna have a fire and have some of our neighbors over for a couple of drinks.

Yeah, something is definitely up…

 

[Lilianna23]

You do you. We're here when you are . . . .

I did miss you guys! I'm really glad to be back!

 

[Lilianna23]

Glad you had a good visit. Friends are the best medicine sometimes. Glad to see you’re back. I will catch you another morning

Look at me getting on the the middle of the day! This doesn't mean I won't be on later. I've missed those feather massages!

I'm stealing this!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's like a fourth of the power is on. one or two of my lights work, but no appliances work. It seems like a trickle. I had to turn off the fridge because it was popping going on and off.

Did the storn hit you directly? Glad you're safe. I hope they get the power on in your area soon.

Oh, sweetie! Are you able to keep anything down? If you like Gatorade, you might try that. You are probably electrolyte depleted!

 

[Lilianna23]

Welcome back, @Lilianna23 - glad you had a good visit with friends!

@ImpishSeraph happy to hear you are safe. Hope the power resumes and clean up is uneventful.

So glad it's finally Friday
Half day for me at work then a laundry list of errands
Oil change for the car tops the list

Thank you, hon!

I'm glad you mentioned your oil change. I need to get my truck in for one. It is also on the list for the airbag recall.

You were sleeping in the arms of the angels! ️

I didn't see them last night. I was working on my taxes and forgot. I'm going to try tonight!

Iceland is on my bucket list! I've read there are glass huts one can stay in!

We were just on the outer edge of the eye when it passed us. I believe they said 74 mph winds. We are about an hour and half inland.

Do the PPIs help?

Yeah. I can eat and drink. Small amounts and bland....
