Subject: Re: THE DAY BEFORE SEPTEMBER by vetteblondie on 2021/8/31 15:03:04 good morning yall. I looked back through the days I missed, I recall posting Thurs and I think sat but didn't see them when I went back through. Been a busy weekend. Left work stressed Thurs, got up Friday went to the nursing home, left there and didn't stop running till that evening, Saturday we had a gathering in Hardy, AR (hour and half) with our Vette club members for monthly dinner cruise, home around 8, then tragedy hit. I was deleting emails from my phone and in MY Yahoo I hit "delete all" since it's junk mail only. Then ALLLLLLL my emails across 5 accounts disappearred. I recovered some but up till 11 pm with that. A lot of the work ones are gone, some important ones are here. I've sent a 'restore request' to Yahoo with fingers crossed. Sunday had some family over with a toddler to swim and that afternoon I was by my self and stayed in the pool with phone on silent. Arron worked the next town over on a side job, he got home around 5 so we just hung out together. Yesterday I tried to spray my hibiscuses with some mix I made and worked my way around the yard and apparenlty there's wasps in the end of the fence I didn't know about and they did not approve of my spray. A cloud of them came immediately after me and I dropped my shit and ran and literally hurdled over a rain bucket, two large hibiscus potted plants and the corner of a double lounger and jumped in the pool just like in the cartoons. I came back up to see a lot of them still circling around so I stayed there a bit. Showered, then ate lunch and rested with no intentions to do anything else. I ended up doing a 3.5 hour garage cleanout. Hoping for a quiet day at work Im stung all over, allgergies up from the cleaning dust, and just plain wore out. We did get some rain the other night, quite heavy for a short bit then a nice steady rain for a couple hours. I have a friend's mom near Nettleton, MS that it was supposed to pass over, last I heard, they were fine and house was dry. I see a lot that didn't fare very well. John, nice listing on BAT, great photos also. Tommy, only hurricane I was ever in was Hugo and was out on a cruise ship when that came through, pretty rough. I can't imagine some that chose to stay for this one. They're likening it to Katrina. I saw the damage first hand from that one as my husband at the time worked Fema at Gulfport, he took me around. Very sobering. At least there's warning. We have tornadoes and those things show up out of nowhere, just drops down on you unexpected for the most part. We're always given 'warnings' but it's not like a hurricane where you have days to get out. Just put head between knees and hope for it. |
