I have the worst memory these days, I stood in front of the shoe store today for 10 minutes and couldn't remember why I was there, like I EVER need a reason to buy shoes.
 
Pounce & Hugs:rose:

If one more person tells me it happens with age I am gonna show them how much I learned at kick boxing, well if I could remember what it is I learned.
 
There was an 80+ year old man out there helping us today. Temps were in the upper 80's. I am less than half his age and I couldn't keep up with him. I asked him where he drew his strength and he told me how he lost his wife in the May 3rd, 1999 tornado that went through Moore. The other F5 tornado on record. This brought back memories for him and the fact that he felt he didn't look for her hard enough until it was too late. Said he has lived with that ever since the day she was found and this is a way to repay that guilt he feels on a daily basis.

I turned a way from him and teared up. Then took a deep breath and started clearing tree limbs even faster than I was before.

Tearing up reading this...

I wanted to knock the Optometrist's Assistant off her stool the first time she said that to me. Wasn't her fault she was right, tho... I guess.

Just because it might be right doesn't mean they need to point it out
 
I really need to be going to bed. I feel as though Mr. Sandman won't be visiting me tonight though.

wish I could trade my inability to stay awake with you not being able to sleep...I think I fall asleep half the time I am here

this was very touching. if the information for the benefit is still available, i'd like to know where to send a donation as well.

what's crossing my mind: with everything that's been going on, i thought i would post some (helpful) links for building and maintaining disaster kits if anyone was interested. these are directly from the FEMA website:

build a disaster kit - there is a list of links on the right with information on basic supplies, how to maintain your kit, where to store it, etc.

family supply list

if you have time, there is a lot of helpful information on the FEMA website about what to do and how to stay informed during an emergency situation.

this is a link for a blog i saw on pinterest. the author has posted pictures of what preparedness kits for her home, car, and pet.
how to put together a preparedness kit

How low my mood became yesterday, and what I might be able to do to pick myself up from it.
 
If I don't receive a call by COB today, I'm making plans to keep me occupied until August. Then I'll probably start working again.
 
Not sure which side of this issue I want to kick in the fucking shin more....... Confusing my son, piss me off........... I'd love to tie the two sides' tails together and throw them over the fucking clothesline right this second.........

Never did it, or saw it done I must add.
