Good Afternoon! Hope R is doing okay, and there were no problems in getting that wood, Claudia. Also hope it isn't too humid there, and you are feeling well. Sorry to hear about the flood damage to that church.
Apparently, many (not all) of the stores and homes nearby got their power back around 4:00 a.m.this morning. But, getting to them is complicated due to roads being blocked, new power poles being installed, debris in the streets and parking lots, etc. They are recommending not trying to go to that area today unless you really need to do so. Our pastor just sent out a note saying that the church is open and okay, but people coming from this area will need to take a different route and then backtrack from the north. I have decided to go with on-line church instead.
Sorry you overdid it Barbara. Arizona really needs the rain, but when it comes so fast and hard there can be flooding since the ground is too dry to absorb it. That is why we have the flash flood warnings here despite the rain being pretty gentle today. I think some of the problem with neighborhood streets/sidewalks is due to homeowners being out-of-town. I know arranging for trees and other things to be removed is very difficult if you are not in the area. It isn't just trees/bushes/cactus, etc., but stones, rocks, etc. from people's yards in addition to mud. Quite a mess.
I completely understand taking medication that has "black box warnings", and I do so with Prolia. Not so much cancer, but other really negative effects. On the other hand, my arthritis isn't sufficiently bad to cause mobility issues, and I can often get away with using somewhat safer medication. Not always, of course. Some nights I need to use Voltaren or I cannot sleep at all.
I didn't realize you were going on your trip so soon. Glad you will have laundry facilities, etc. That is such a frightening story about your step grandson's pregnant girlfriend. So glad she is okay. Very lucky indeed.
While I am a sun-lover plus enjoy warm/hot weather, I am certainly enjoying this cool day.
DD texted me that she finished her last class (there were three or four in the series) and passed her Administrative Assistant certification test. She is very happy. So far, she hasn't found any "academic" or training type classes for the Fall, but she and DGD have signed up for belly dancing and another recreation type class.
I had my meditation Zoom meeting this morning, and I'm doing the laundry. Later, I plan to do an exercise DVD and my weekly financial review. Very quiet day.
Hope both of you and your husbands have a nice evening and sleep well.
Hugs,
Linda
